Okay, first post so sorry if this is a sore topic.

Recently I have been tasked with creating a button in a .asp page(stuff.asp?formMode=xml) that redirects back to the original page (stuff.asp) so that if a user made a mistake it will reset the values of the drop down box (that works already) and set the value in the box to what was previously chosen.

The original stuff.asp uses a sql server to populate a drop down list that is used to choose a field (like enddate) an operator (is = to) and a value (10102004) and then it uses the entered data (chosen from the drop down list) and puts that in an xml dataisland so that the info is processed client side.

Is it possible to pull the data from the xml dataisland backwords? like (just like stated above) if I screw up and want to change the operator to (!=) can I repopulate the drop down box from the xml dataisland (ie setting the value of field to enddate, operator to =, and value = 10102004 and use sql to add the others ( !=, <, >, etcetera)

I probably don't entirely understand but you can bind a listbox to an xml data island. See the docs online
