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:

Code:

<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>

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

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

Code:

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

Let me know if this helps.
