Hello,
relatively new to programming and just trying to create a simple asp
page.
I have the following drop down menu on a html page and when submitting
i would like to call out on asp what someone has selected.
<select size="1" name="type">
<option value="Prospect ">Prospect</option>
<option value="Suspect" >Suspect</option>
<option value="Qualifie d">Qualified </option>
<option value="Proposed ">Proposed</option>
<option value="Closed"> Closed</option>
<option value="Lost">Lo st</option>
</select></b></p>
I also have regular fields on the html page which works great when
submitting but for some reason i can't get the dropdown selection to
display
fname = request.form("f name")
lname = request.form("l name")
email = request.form("e mail")
type = request.form("t ype") <----- this is what i have to call a drop
down selection.
I get the following error
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'
Expected statement
/chip/AddNew.asp, line 13
type = request.form("t ype")
^
Any help would be greatly appreciate.

And yet this says it isn't:

I'd try a different field name though.
This supports your approach:

Any ideas why the values from the second script-generated drop down
list isn't recognized by the script to add time values to the text
boxes?
What this script is suppose to do is change the value of a second drop

Then a value is chosen from the script generated drop down list in the

Hi,
On an ASP.NET page I have a drop down list control. When the user pulls
down the list and makes a selection, I perform validation, and if the
validation fails I want the selected item in the drop down box to go back to
what the value was before the user tried to change it, but at that point I
will not know what the original value was. Or is there a drop down control
"revert" method, or is there any way of knowing what the original...

Hi There,
I am a bit of a newbie to PHP programming and I would like to know how I can place a selected drop down option into a PHP variable and then produce an sql query which incorporates this variable.
I have created a dynamic drop down menu that populates itself with data from a MySQL table. I now want it to populate a second drop-down menu with relevant options from my database, based upon a query using a variable.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
