asp_web_howto thread: Accessing values from a Select statement


Message #1 by "Paul R Beaulieu" <paulbeaulieu@s...> on Fri, 9 Nov 2001 08:32:52 -0500
Does anyone know of an easy way t oaccess the value selected by someone

using a select statement?



I do believe I could use the onChange option to run some Java script to get

the value selected but I need to use this value in VB script in the ASP to

load the next select with the appropriate values for the item selected in

the select statement.



Or should I add code to the java script to read the values from SQL and

build the next select statement?



Thanks, Paul.

you have a few options..



1) load a javascript array with all the data you will need. so that once the

first sleect box is changed.. javascript has all the values it needs.  kinda

not a good idea with alot of data.



2) in the on change event. send the page back to the server (form submit)

and allow the server to build another page.



3) (my favorite) in the on change event.. open a new window and pass the

selected option to the new window.. that new window will open an asp page

that will query the db, and populate the list in the opener page via

window.opener...



look on google for "Dependent list problem" i think i have seen an article

or 2 under that title. and i think there is one from MSDN that uses XML data

islands...



hth

<select name="cboTest">

    <option value="1">1</option>

</select>



Request.Form("cboTest") will give you the value of the selected item when

the form is posted back to the server.



Cheers

Ken

to use the value selected and build a new select box.. sorry about that.

Yes... I was hoping to access the value immediately, not have to go to a new

asp program when the value is changed, actually is wishful thinking and I

guess the only way is to execute new asp and rebuild the page each time...

thanks, Paul.
