Hi,

I cannot get the selected option to be POSTed (it does not appear in the
QueryString when using GET neither)

I construct the drop down list from an array, I select an element in the
list, I POST using a submit button. When I use Request.Form("NAME") it's
always empty. Is the selected item is Posted? How to retreive it?


Response.Write "<SELECT NAME>"
for i = LBound(aRessource, 1) to UBound(aRessource, 1)
Response.Write "<OPTION VALUE=" & i & ">"
Response.Write aRessource(i, 0)
next
Response.Write "<OPTION SELECTED>"
Response.Write "</SELECT>"


thank you for your time
serge

1. Do not use reserved words for object or variable names. "NAME" is a word
that should definitely be avoided: it is used everywhere!
2. You did not assign a name to the SELECT's name attribute. It should be
like this:

Response.Write "<SELECT name=""lstRessource"">"


In the other page, you would do this:

Request.Form("lstRessource")
