Dynamic Select and onChange

am 13.12.2006 18:04:05 von mcgrew.michael

I have a Dynamic drop-down box that is populated based on a ADO query.
This works fine. I want to capture the users selection and assign it to
a variable for use in another query. I am using the onChange event to
try and capture the users selection but it always passes the last entry
in the drop-down list not what the user selects. Can anyone help me
with this. I am very new to ASP\Jscript\Vbscript. A snippent of the
code is below.

This is not really an ASP issue (you'd be having the same problem if
your file had a .htm extension instead of .asp, wouldn't you?): it's a
client-side scripting issue. You haven't shown us enough here to allow
us to reproduce your problem. When you post to the client-side scripting
group (microsoft.public.scripting.jscript) include the setMgr function
code. Also, run your page and View source so you can include the html
for the options in the select element.

The setMgr function is just simple javascript to set a variable.

function setMgr(curMgr) {
var sMgr = curMgr;
}

I get the variable but it is always the last item in the drop-down
select, it doesn't reflect the selection.

All the option values are "" so I'm surprised you are getting any value at
all.
