Buiding part of form from list box

[Smoulg28]

Hi there,

I have created some dynamic dropdown menus and now want to create a small table. The table has two columns and the number of row is dependent on the menu last menu.

I have created the first part of the form using straight JavaScript but I guess I need to create the rest with ASP to get this to update the form while staying on the same page. Was suggested to me that I could use "INCLUDE" but couldnt get this to work. Am very new to ASP so would appreciate some pointers.

a bit more clear please (with an e.g.)

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Well basically. The drop down menu is populated with, for example, 1,2,3,4. Selecting 4 from menu will then display a table of 4 rows x 2 columns just below this menu. If 2 was selected then will build a 2 x 2 table. The cells in the right hand column will be populated with text boxes.

hope this is a bit clearer.

u can use:
1. DOM
2. ASP

1. For DOM refer JS forum.

2. ASP - Resubmit the form using JS(to itself). read the select value and use a for loop to generate the rows...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

ok got a bit further now... using ASP
I can get it to resubmit and bring up the required sized table.
Now I want to be able to keep the data that has already been submitted to stay. I have got the text boxes to "remember" the data...
but how do you get a radio button and a dropdown to repopulate?

Found some nifty code from the forum... as for the repopulating of the dropdown... solved. It was quite obvious really. I just used the "onload" atribute in the body tag

Thank anyway
