asp populate a dropdown list

[fran7]

Hi, Anyone know how to populate a dropdown list with data from database.

I have an interface that generates the following code for names in my database.

..asp
<%If Trim(rsCard("Author"))<>"" Then%> <%=rsCard("Author")%><%End If%>
..

How does one populate a dropdown list??
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Richard,

rsCard should contain a whole set of data, you should be able to scroll through them by saying rsCard.movenext, so the drop down select will look something like this:

response.write "<select>"
do until rsCard.eof 'scroll through the whole list
   response.write "<option>" & rsCard("Author") & "</option>" & vbNewLine
   rsCard.movenext
loop
response.write "</select>"

Let me know if this helps.
