Drop-Down Box - where does one call the cookie?

[KingElvis]

Where in the code for a Drop-Down Box, does one place the ASP code for a cookie?

When I place it as shown below, I get an error message.


<select size="1" name="sDuration">
<option selected>Duration</option>
<option>05 min</option>
<option>10 min</option>
<option>15 min</option>
<option>45 min</option>
<option>1 hr</option>
<%=Request.Cookies(consts_CollectionName_Shiur)("sduration")%> </select>

When the user submits the page, a validation routine is run. If there is an error, the page refreshes WITH all the previously entered data.

Thus, if he selected "10 mins", but the validation routine finds an error on some other entered data, then the refresh screen should still show "10 mins

you'll need to do that with an array then because then values aren't sequential Obviously adapt the valuse to suit

dim i
dim CurrDuration
CurrDuration = Request.Cookies(consts_CollectionName_Shiur)("sduration")
dim DurArray(4)
DurArray(0) = 5
DurArray(1) = 10
DurArray(2) = 15
DurArray(3) = 45
DurArray(4) = 60
with response
    .write "<select name='sDuration'>"
for i = 0 to ubound(DurArray)
   .write "<option value='"
   .write DurArray(i)
   .write "'"
if cint(CurrDuration) = DurArray(i) then
   .write "selected"
end if
   .write ">"
   .write DurArray(i)
   .write " mins"
   .write "</option>" & vbCrLf
next
   .write "</select>"
end with
