Add/Delete from a list

[WorkSuxs]

Hi, I have a page that I want users to add a number to a "list" that is disypled on the page. They enter the number into a text box and click a button that will add the number to the "list" on the page (without refreshing). I need to be able to delete one or poss more than one number from the list, by way of another button. Is there a way of doing this? The powers to be don't want the page refreshed...

Not to be a pain, but since ASP is the server-side portion and you don't want to refresh the page, you may want to try in a more appropriate forum such as the javascript forum.
This may even be in the FAQs over there, since it is a fairly common thing that gets asked.

Thanks, I was affraid of that. Since we only program in Vbscript....

How do you store the numbers?
Why can't you refresh your page?

My boss does not like page refreshes. I'm trying to figure out how to do this. So right now, I'm not storing them at all.

What you could do is create a textbox and when you click the button - store the textbox's contents in a local variable from the Request object's Form collection.

Like:
myString = Request.Form( "SomeTextbox" )

And keep concatenating that variable with future textbox entries:

conString = conString & "<br>" & myString

Your conString variable would look like:
"Mike<br>Joe<br>Tim<br>"

So in HTML it would look like:
Mike
Joe
Tim

Then use the Replace Function to get rid of the last "<br>"
FinalString = Replace( conString, Right( conString, 4 ), "" )

Hmmm .. nevermind .. I suppose that didn't answer your question.
