Subject: how to build a dynamic list
Posted By: javacal Post Date: 9/12/2003 4:03:38 AM
Hello,

Scenario
I have two drop down lists which are populated
via a database.  One is static and the other is
populated according to the value selected from
the static list.  When the page is shown to the
user both lists should be displayed ready for the
user to choose from the static list.

What I have so far is two lists displayed and an
'on change' event from the static list to populate the
dynamic list.  I have attempted to populate the dynamic
list via a procedure embedded in the <BODY> and as a
VB Script neither of them seem to be executing.

I assume there is no problem in calling a VB Script from
an 'on change' event?

My question is:-
Does anybody have some example code I could look at or
perhaps just some outline guidance.

Thanks
Ian King
