getting text value from option list

blueindian1 · Jul 19, 2002

hello,

is it possible to get the text value from an option list using only ASP?

so if i have
<option value="1">One</option>

i want to pull the "One" from the form.

thanks,

rich

<option value="1" name="first">One</option>

Will Request.Form("first&quot

work?

you have to change some things and what ever is selected wilkl pass with the form submission
like this (change the value!)
<html>
<body>
<form method="get" action="show.asp">
<SELECT NAME="sel">
<option value="One">One</option>
<option value="Two">Two</option>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit" value="show">
</form>
</body>
</html>

read the selected

<%
Response.Write(Request.QueryString("sel&quot

)
%>

I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.
