You are trying to set the value of the session variable w/o calling back to the server. this line here:

onClick="(Session("sessmanufacture")=Request.Form( "manmenu")

I am actually suprised you are not getting a JS error of some sort, but anyway. You need to post back to the server to set your session, that above line won't do anything for you that is why your session variable is not getting set. If this were .NET you could just set the dropdown AutopostBack attribute to true and your problem would be solved but since you are using classic asp you are probably going to have to implement a little AJAX functionality to get this to work correctly.

Hope this helps

im not familure with AJAX, even in DW when i make a ASP jscrpit page, i dont what you mean the auto post bac, but i think im gunna rebuild the page on asp.net jscript, but where is the autogetback option (or w.e) in DW or do youd have to manually code it
