ASP return is same page...

[daniloa]

Hi friends...

How are you ???

Well I have a problem that I can't resolve, is the follow:

(I'm a beginner ASP programmer)

I have a Select, like a combobox, ok !!
and for each option in this select I have a description on database, I want this:

when the user change (or click) the option on select, load your description in a textarea that is in the same page side by side with this select.

I just got the descriptions on another page...

Could you help me ???

(P.S. excuse my english it's not good.)

[tt]Simply create another record set pointing to where the descriptions will be pulled from and repeat the region and apply "don not show if empty". There u go

Hi there,

This sounds like an iFrame thing. If you have a combo/dropdown list and that is from a db table which looks like:

FieldID FieldName FieldDesc
1 david great guy worked here forever
2 mike not so great guy, left after a week

If you populate a dynamic drop down list with the labels from the FieldName field and the Values from the FieldID field.
Download the iFrame extension from the brilliant Massimo Foti's site here:

(this is easier than trying to code an iFrame in Dreamweaver or UD as the iFrame function isn't fully supported). Er.... now restart UD (sorry!). USe the extension to place an iFrame with a suitable name next/below to the dropdown/combo list and in your code have the dynamic list target the inframe like: <a href=&quot;yourpage.html&quot; target=&quot;frame&quot;>

Save your work and see how you get on. This is a rather hastily put together workaround, for more help on iFrames go here:
