Hi

I have a <select> defined in a form.

My question is , how do I maintain the value of the select after my button has been pressed.

if was a input field, the value would be maintained using value='request.form(select)' but htis is not possible witha select.

cheers.

you would have your option values in a array and response.write them on with a loop and check each value as the loop iterates.

<%
dim value_array(3)
value_array(0) = "zero"
value_array(1) = "one"
value_array(2) = "two"
value_array(3) = "three"

<select ... >
<%
with response
for i = 0 to ubound(value_array)
  .write "<option value="
  .write chr(34)
  .write value_array(i)
  .write chr(34)
if value_array(i) = select_value then
  .write " selected ="
  .write chr(34)
  .write "selected"
  .write chr(34)
end if
  .write ">"
  .write value_array(i)
  .write "</option>"
next 
end with

%>
</select>

not tested coded on the fly

Thats a majorly complicated way of getting the result i want from what I can see. I have done this before using jsp however it was not as complicated as that. The script wasnt specifically Java code either.

cheers for you time though.
