Setting a default option in a combo box for ASP 3.0 app

1 New Member
How do I make a value the default value for a combo box in ASP 3.0? What I have below does NOT work, yet I've seen it in HTML file examples before (and works if I put it in a HTML file by itself, but not if I use it in a ASP 3.0 app) I have also seen messages in this forum that says it should work, but I've tried it two different asp 3.0 apps and it is not working and I don't know why.

<select name="cboCompan y" style="text-align:right; font-size:8pt">
<option value="08">08</option>
<option value="09" selected="true" >09</option>
<option value="33">33</option>
<option value="18">18</option>
<option value="17">17</option>
</select>

<option value="08">08</option>
<option value="09" selected="true" >09</option>
<option value="33">33</option>
<option value="18">18</option>
<option value="17">17</option>
</select>
try:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.     <option value="09" selected>09</option> 
  2.  
I don't see why using asp should make a difference, but check the source code from the browser to make sure the asp is putting out the right HTML code.

Let me know if this works.

Everything is working well except, with the original, when the form is opened, the focus is on the SelectCategory combo box, while the form elements...

I have a "Yes/No" combo box (set to required) and I want the focus to shift to differnet controls (on the same form) based on the selection of "Yes" or "No". Would this have to be placed on the "Exit" event? I tried Google...and no luck. I'm sure there's gonna be an "If" statement involved. TIA, -Orv Access2003

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
