Request.Form question

[sabavno]

Hi,

On my form I have 2 drop-down box:
<SELECT ID=&quot;DisplayBy&quot; onChange=&quot;ChangeValues()&quot;>

<OPTION value=&quot;Charges&quot;
>Charges</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;Count&quot;

>Count</OPTION>

</SELECT>


<SELECT NAME=Years>
<OPTION value=&quot;2001&quot;>2001</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;2002&quot;
<% if (Year(Date) = &quot;2002&quot then
response.write(&quot;SELECTED&quot
end if
%>
>2002</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;2003&quot;
<% if (Year(Date) = &quot;2003&quot then
response.write(&quot;SELECTED&quot
end if
%>
>2003</OPTION>
</SELECT>


When I submit values and try to retrieve them I have this:

year=Request.Form(&quot;years&quot
display=Request.Form(&quot;DisplayBy&quot

I am able to retrieve &quot;years&quot;, but not &quot;DispalyBy&quot;
I suspect it is because I have NAME property for &quot;years&quot; combo box, and ID for &quot;DisplayBy&quot;.

Please help.

Thanks

u suspect right

try this:
<SELECT ID=&quot;DisplayBy&quot; name=&quot;DisplayBy&quot; onChange=&quot;ChangeValues()&quot;>

yes it is due to the name being absent in the first select. you must specify a name for the form to pass the parameter. you may have both with in the input field if you are using ID for validation or other dynamic reasons A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

Hi ...
you are right.
you can use ID for the client side and javascripts but you have to use name for the object when you want to submit the form.
so you can use this :
<SELECT ID=&quot;DisplayBy&quot; name=&quot;DisplayBy&quot; onChange=&quot;ChangeValues()&quot;>
