Message boxes and Forms

[danmoss]

I'm having a really bad thickie moment.

What I have is a drop-down menu with a number of options in it, next to this I have a button (which is not a submit button at the moment). This is part of a much bigger form which has a submit button at the bottom.
What I'm trying to acheive is to get a message box to pop up when the button is clicked that will have different contents depending on which option is selected in the drop-down. Ideally I don't want the page to re-load each time a user does this (it's a sort of help option on the form).
I'm sure this is really simple, but my addled brain can't come up with anything as yet and it's starting to annoy me

Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

the msgbox function is not available for use in ASP so you will need to combine the use of javascript and your ASP to obtain this functionality. Just use a conditional statement to gain the correct message in the dialog you want.
example
<% Dim ifst
ifst = &quot;ok&quot;
if ifst = &quot;ok&quot; then %>
<script>{alert(&quot;the condition was met&quot;}</script>
<%else%>
<script>{alert(&quot;the condition was not met&quot;}</script>
<%end if%>

hope that helps A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
