[zoha520]

in a jsp page...there is one drop down menue that gets the velues from the detabase(this works okie)....i need to do a javascript code to refersh the page right after the user selects one of the options...and the page gets the selected value and base on that, will look into databse to disply the requried text....

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function OnChange(dropdown)
{
//addCar.jsp is the jsp page
var myindex = dropdown.selectedIndex
var SelValue = dropdown.options[myindex].value
var baseURL = "addCar.jsp?selected="
top.location.href = baseURL+dropdown.options[myindex].value;

return true;
</script>
}

<label>
<select name="modelCode" onchange='OnChange(this);'> <%
String selected = request.getParameter("selected");

/*here is some code to get the values and options for the drop down menu from dtabse*/


if(selected!=null){
prostaID = Integer.parseInt(selected);
}
while(i.hasNext()) //go through data base iterator i
{
// jsp code
if(prostaID!=0 && prostaID==prostaDTO.getModelCode())
{
theCode=prostaDTO.getModelCode();
%>

<option value="<%=theCode%>" selected><=prostaDTO.getDesc()></option>
<%} else{%>
<option value="<%=theCode%>"><%=prostaDTO.getDesc()%></option>
<%}}%>

</select>
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td height="26"><strong>Year </strong></td>
<%

while(i1.hasNext())//another iterator to get the next data and just display in the page
{
//jsp code
String yearModel1=prostaDTO.getYear();
%>
<td><%=yearModel1%></td>
<input type="hidden" name="yearModel" value="<%=yearModel1%>">
