access_asp thread: drop down list with asp


Message #1 by "sharon buggle" <s.buggle@w...> on Thu, 4 Oct 2001 17:33:39
I am sort of new to asp and hope someone will answer this really easy ?



I have code below:



  response.write"<SELECT name='Selpage'>"

  response.write" <option value='Voy'>Voyage</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value ='PtDis'>Ports of Discharge</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value ='A&EPtDis' >Add/Edit Port of 

Discharge</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value='A&EBOL'>Add/Edit Bill of Lading</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value='BOLCon'>Bill of Lading Containers</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value='ConDet'>Container Details</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value='ConChg'>Container Charges</OPTION>"

  response.write"<OPTION value='ConRem'>Container Remarks</OPTION>"

 response.write "</SELECT>"





I am trying to let the user pick from list above and then they hit a 

button but it does not keep the value they pick.  



I have tried option selected= "& Request("Selpage")&" but it does not work.



also tried 



if len(request("Selpage") > 0 



or



if request("Selpage") = "PtDis then ....



i thank you for your time!

When the user clicks the button - what happens?  Where is the form data

being sent?  To the same page or a different ASP page?  It is on this other

ASP page that the Request.form("Selpage") should collect which ever option

was selected.  Using ASP, you cannot dynamically store the response before

the page/form data is sent to the server. If this is your intention only

JavaScript will suffice.

the form action is to itself.

when they click an item in list and hit button depending on what item was 

chosen i do a response.redirect " whatever.asp" right now i am just seeing 

if the item chosen is being given to (selpage) name and show a message if 

it is but it is not doing message



do i do a select case after they pick an item or do i do the request() 

= "whatever" 



thanks,

This should work:

<%

if request.querystring("action") <> "post" then

response.write "<form method='post' action='thisfilename.asp?action=post'>"

response.write "<SELECT name='Selpage'>"

response.write "<option value='Voy'>Voyage</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='PtDis'>Ports of Discharge</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='A&EPtDis'>Add/Edit Port of

Discharge</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='A&EBOL'>Add/Edit Bill of Lading</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='BOLCon'>Bill of Lading Containers</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='ConDet'>Container Details</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='ConChg'>Container Charges</OPTION>"

response.write "<OPTION value='ConRem'>Container Remarks</OPTION>"

response.write "</SELECT>"

response.write "<input type='submit' value=' OK '>"

response.write "</form>"

else

response.write request.form("Selpage")

end if

%>

You should be able to submit the form to itself (the same ASP page) and

collect the form data by using the request.form ().  the first time the page

loads the value will be blank - after the submit button is pressed and the

form data is passed, the value will be what ever the user selected. If it

doesn't work there might be something else wrong with your ASP page.

I recommend getting the following book: Active Server Pages 3.0 (there is

both beginner and professional versions). All of your confusion will be

cleared in less than 50 pages (about 2 hours of reading).
