Ummmm - replace "ASPPage6.a sp" with the actual name of the asp page???

By the war, I very deliberately surrounded the attribute values (such as
"ASPPage6.a sp") with quotes in the example I provided. I do not see quotes
in your new code here.

Re: How can I get the dropdown's selected value

I have a similar task to "London's" and am having trouble finding the
easiest way to do it. I do have some asp experience but sometimes you
have to do new things...

I have built a form and have it submitting to the server fine. The
problem I am having is that in many text boxes I need to be able to go
"lookup" the value the user typed in and then populate another text
box with an answer (from another table).

Example:
The user is typing in a mechanical problem description. One field is
a "Part number" - when the user types that in and moves off that field
I have to go to another table with that part number and lookup the
"Descriptio n" of that part number, I then have to auto-fill that text
box on the screen. I can do it with a Submit button but the customer
wants this to happen automatically (!darn customers!) without having
to click on anything.

I have to use all VBScript because of customer requirements so I don't
think the OnBlur() attribute is available to me.

I thought I could put some VBScript lookup code in the 'value'
attribute of the "part number" field?? But I can't find any
examples of people doing this on any of these groups.

Anyone have some ideas or know where some examples of this might be?

Thanks for the help!

Susan, I don't understand your problem well enough to answer your
question, but I do have a couple of comments.

First, this problem would be trivial in .NET. Perhaps that's not an
option for you.

Secondly, another group here at work has a sort of related situation.
What they do is bring an entire table of data over to the client along
with the form. Then as the user moves around on the form they use
javascript to update various fields. Note that our application runs on
an intranet, and we have complete control over browsers and settings.

Re: How can I get the dropdown's selected value

You have to submit ur form under which your drop down element exist.
After submitting you can get it's value like this
to display
Response.Write request("NameOf control")
to assign to some variable
ur variable request("NameOf control")

Or you can even catch it with out submiting through java script.

We are not looking over your shoulder at your screen. You need to tell us
what the errors are.
