troubleshooting Question
How do I load a dynamic array from a SQL query into multiple pull down inputs on a classic ASP page?
asked on
Greetings all,
I am trying to figure out the best way to load the same dynamically generated (from a SQL server query) list into multiple pull down (select) input form objects on a classic ASP page. I think it might require a combination of vbscript (to query the database) and javascript (to hold and display the pull down). The sql query would look like this:
SELECT ListID, Symbol FROM Deals WHERE Active = 1
This would give me an array of unkown rows with ListID and Symbol pairs.
I then have a form with multiple (20) rows and each row needs to have the values of this array loaded into a pull down for one of the entries.
<select name="selDeal" id="selDeal">
<option value="ListID value from array">Symbol value from array</option>
</select>
I began to work on this but realized there might be a simple way to do it and I might not have to re-invent the wheel to do it if someone has already dealt with this scenario.
Thanks.
