I am building a simple page to enable addition of news items to my intranet via a form submitted to the database. I want the user to be able to click buttons that add text to a textarea - e.g. they can click a button to automatically write empty html tags and links with "almost" complete urls...

Is there a simple way of replicating the Right Click-> Save Target As behaviour in a link, so that rather than opening a file in a browser it prompts for download to their local machine when the link is clicked?

So if I'm understanding you correctly, I would put a value in the lookup table that says "choose one" or something with a value associated with that. I would then need to write some VBScript that builds a sql statement piece by piece according to what had or hadn't been selected. Is that what...

You haven't specified that the querystring is called - i.e. deltarget = Request.QueryString("ID")

I have a search page with 3 drop-down boxes (fed from tables in a database) from which users can pick 3 categories to search on. However, I need to set it up so that users can search on only two of those categories if they so wish. The page is backed by a sql query of the WHERE ID =...
