Can't read data from listbox

[mihalych]

What is the correct way to get value from list box using server-side scripting? As Request.form("listbox&quot does not work.

Your listbox (SELECT) needs to have a name:
<SELECT NAME=&quot;listbox1&quot;>
<option value=&quot;myDesiredValue&quot;>What I want the user to see</option>
</select>

Then to retrieve the value after the form has been submitted:
<%
MyListboxValue = request.form(&quot;listbox1&quot
response.write(MyListboxValue) 'verify that you got what you wanted
%>

Thank you

Everything is working well. When I resubmit the page to itself, the first list box displays the first item, but how could it display the item that was selected before?
