Hi,
I have 3 related drop down menus all of which need to be populated from database.In the first list i populated the values from the database.
But i have trouble to proceed further.
The second has to be populated in based on the value chosen from the first dropdown and the third from the second.
I cant use submit button(so cant refresh page) and the second drop down has to be populated.So iam trying to collect the values into an array and use it in the VBscript(client side).This is also failing.
Can anyone please suggest how this can be done.
Thanks!!
John.

John,
I have seen this done in two basic ways. The first is to submit the form using a javascript function every time a selection is made (this.form.subm it()). The second is to have a lot of different versions of the second and third selects present and hidden on the page, then revealed when the appropriate selection is made. I have tried both and they work just fine (the second option is heavy on the javascript and the file is much larger. I tried it on an intranet system where I knew every user was using the same browser, I would be a little worried about my abilities to program this on the internet). Theoretically you could use ajax or advanced javascript to reconnect to the db after each selection and rewrite the other selects. This is kind of a variation on method 1, and I feel more confident using ASP, so I wouldn't try this if it was me, but do what you think you can do.

Hello,
i have an ASP.NET / VB page where i have a few 4 groups of Drop Down Lists.

I don't want to insert the values and text to each drop down list.
So i want to create a script that populates a certain Drop Down List with
certain values when page loads such as:

Hi,
I have 2 drop down lists on an asp.Net page. The 1st contains alphabets.
When the user selects an alphabet frm the first list, the second drop down
list should be populated with names from the sql database, which begin with
that alphabet.
For this I used an sql data Adapter & created a data set. The user's
selection in 1st list is passed as parameter to the sql statement.

Hi,
I new to C# so please forgive me if this is simple. I've got 2 drop
down lists the first is hard coded with data where as the second is
populated from a database. The options that appear in the second should
be determined by what is selected in the first drop down list. When the
page loads it automatically populates the second list with the default
value via a proceedure:
public void popDDL(string dbName)

Hi all,
I hope someone can help with this relatively simple problem.
I am building a timesheet application using ASP.NET C# with Visual

My question is simple, on my Projects form I have a 'search' button,

number of user-input parameters. Two of these parameters are drop-down

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
