I am creating a page (See the following code) which includes a selection input and a product list. For different selection (1/2/3), the page presents different list. The default seleted value is 3, and default list is list_3.

When users change selection to 1 or 2, the page should display list_1 or list_2.
Do you have any ideas about HOW TO do that?

<form>
<select size='1' name='myChoice'>
<OPTION SELECTED>3</OPTION>
<OPTION>2</OPTION>
<OPTION>1</OPTION>
</select>

<%

Dim thisLevel
thisLevel = request.cookies("selectedNum")

Select case thisLevel
Case 3
myFile="../include/list_3.asp"
Call DisplayFile(myFile)

Case 2
myFile="../include/list_2.asp"
Call DisplayFile(myFile)

Case 1
myFile="../include/list_1.asp"
Call DisplayFile(myFile)

End Select
%>

</form>

Thank you!

You should not have to store Cookies in order to achieve this..

Take a look at the code below..

HTML code:

<form action="set_list.asp" method="get">
<select name="myChoice">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit form" />
</form>

Then we process the contents of the form and set the correct list depending on the option selected in the <select> box.

ASP code: (set_list.asp)

<%
Option Explicit

dim the_list, myFile

the_list = request.queryString("myChoice")

select case CInt(the_list)
case 1
myFile = "list_1.asp"
case 2
myFile = "list_2.asp"
case 3
myFile = "list_3.asp"
case else
myFile = "list_1.asp"
end select

Call DisplayFile("../include/" & myFile) 'Call function.
%>

Thanks for your suggestion, which works well. However, I can't put a submit button between the SELECTION and LIST. Sorry, I didn't make it clear.

My page consists of an INPUT, a SELECTION, a Product List, and then a SUBMIT button. It's like this:

<form>

<input name="userID">

<select size='1' name='myChoice'>
<OPTION SELECTED>3</OPTION>
<OPTION>2</OPTION>
<OPTION>1</OPTION>
</select>



<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit form" />

</form>

I got the default LIST displayed correctly, but couldn't get a
specific LIST appeared after a user has selected information from the SELECTION. I think that I need some javascript onchange function.

I already have an ASP sub, named DisplayFile(FileToRead).
My problems are:

1. Can I use my javascript onchange functionthe together with this ASP sub?
If possible, how the javascript onchange function call this ASP sub?

2. If NO, what the javascript onchange function should do?

Again, thanks for your attention.

Hi,

I also tried this way (please see the following code). But it does not help me out.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
