How to get an element in ASP - ASP / Active Server Pages

16 New Member

Hey all.

Lets say I want to make an element (ex. an HTML select element) invisible when the user clicks a certain button.

How do I access that element in an ASP page, using VBscript (I will be using a database)?

Thanks

if you do not want to pass any value to the server you can do it from javascript by encapsulating the select in a DIV tag. check this example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>

<script>

function toggleSelect()

{

    if (document.getElementById("divSelect").style.display != '')

    {

        document.getElementById("divSelect").style.display = '';

        document.getElementById("btnToggleInt").value ='Hide Select';

    }

    else

    {

        document.getElementById("divSelect").style.display = 'none';

        document.getElementById("btnToggleInt").value ='Show Select';

    }

}
 
</script>

<body>

<input id ="btnToggleInt" type="button" onclick="toggleSelect()" value= "Hide Select">

</br>

<div id="divSelect">

    <select>

        <option>1</option>

        <option>2</option>

    </select>

</div>

</body>

</html>

On the page where the data is sent (form action="myHandler.asp" then myHandler.asp is sent the data) the data will be called 'request.form("nameOfInput")'

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 query = "SELECT * FROM userTable WHERE userName = '" & request.form("userName") & "'"
 

Let me know if this helps.
