write out a jump menu form option

MikeDee · Jan 9, 2002

hi everyone,

The following isn't working?
What I'm trying to do is display on screen one of the option in the jump menu.

If I changed the this line
getstuff = request.form("option1&quot

TO
getstuff = request.form("ss&quot

it'll display the input field's stuff but jump menu no????

-----------------------

<HTML>
<form method="post" action="aspform.asp">
<input type="text" name="ss"><BR>
<select name="select11">
<option selected>select option</option>
<option value=option1>michael 1</option>
<option value=option2>michael 2</option>
</select>
</form>

<%
dim getstuff
getstuff = request.form("option1&quot

response.write getstuff
%>
</HTML>

select11 is the name of your form object, not option1. option1 is what might be displayed when you ask for:

request.form("select11&quot

So if you actually wanted to see "micheal1", then you would need to declare that as the value for your option, as well as the text (that sits between the two tags).

<option value=micheal1>michael1</option>
