I am building a search function at the moment which utilises drop down menus...
i.e. user selects from 1st menu which then populates the 2nd menu. User selects from 2nd menu which then populates 3rd menu....
In total there will be 5 menus, each of which is populated by the user previous selections. In total I should have a around 600 products available.
Now all the details of the products are stored in an MS Access DB...
So should I use javascript drop down menus on a front page, with the name of each product stored in arrays for searching purposes. The advantage to this is I dont have to constantly refresh the page. Then submit the user selections to an ASP page which then searches my DB.
Or do I use ASP from the start. Building the menus in ASP so that each time the user makes a selection, a call is made to the server.
Any advice would be appreciated
Regards,
Andy
