How do i pass the value of a select box to.....

EdRev · Dec 26, 2000

I have this form below that passes some values to an asp form collection page. I do not have problem passing the values of the <input> tags to the page, I just do,

rac_last= request.form("rac_last&quot

.....

But I'm having a problem passing the value of the <select> tag. When I do dep_code = request.form("dep_code&quot

, no value is being passed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<body><form name="racform" action="add_action.asp?action=update_rac" method="post" onsubmit="return verifyrac()">
<center>
<table>
<tr><td>Last Name:<input type=text name="rac_last" value="<%=staffset("rac_last&quot

%>"></td>
<tr><td>First Name:<input type=text name="rac_first" value="<%=staffset("rac_first&quot

%>"></td>
<tr><td>Title:<input type=text name="rac_title" value="<%=staffset("rac_title&quot

%>"></td>
<tr><td>Department:<select name="dep_code">
<option value="<%=staffset("rac_dep_code&quot

%>" selected><%=staffset("dep_name&quot

%></option>
<%
strtext="select * from rac_dep"
set deptset=hertzDB.Execute(strtext)
deptset.movefirst
while not deptset.eof
%>
<option value="<%=deptset("dep_code&quot

%>"><%=deptset("dep_name&quot

%>
</option>
<%
deptset.movenext
wend
%>
</select>

I believe that YOu need to change the Select area to read

<Input Type='Select' name=...

This should fix your problem.
