I am working on an old classic asp purchasing system which has a header and lines screen.
On the lines screen there are a number of drop down lists <select> items. They have close to a thousand <options> within them and there could be 20 lines.
This leads to a considerable ammount of HTML.
Is it possible to reuse the source of one element. I.e popup the same list everytime.
Ideally I would creaet a select with just one option, they current selected value held in the database. When the user clicks the select the rest of the items are added to the list dynamically.
can that be done?

HTML/CSS can't do this, JavaScript or PHP would be the way to go.
Thanks, Death
Can I just use an array and the items?
Or alternatively
Cant I just set up a div tag, output the contents of the select into there and change its location as and when the user clicks an item?

Ask in the JavaScript forum.

Hi There!
I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to
widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width?
I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when
user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list
are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the
items from the drop down list.

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,...
