In ASP and VBScript I have a combo box that I need the value from without leaving the page. I tried using the On_click but that errors out. Please help.

I think the event you should invoke is onChange in javascript. Maybe for VBScript it is On_change

neeraj523 thanks for the help I am on my way. Please tell me how I can get the results from the function in to a variable that I can use for some other items I need to display.

neeraj523

//defining variable here will allow you to use this variable through out your page..
var valStr
function process(frm)
{
valStr = frm.ProductCode.options[frm.ProductCode.selectedIndex].value
// you can use valStr varaible anywhere for further processing..
return false
}
