ASP Form Problem

Hi,

Developing a site with a section for users to choose an item using 2 drop down menus, both within the SAME FORM.

Menu 1 has a list of UK regions, when a region is selected, Menu 2 beneath is populated with a list of items from that region to choose from. Both menus are dynamic and are populated directly from a database.

Problem = How do I get the form, when submitted, to open up a second page to display the details associated with the item ? (all items have details in the same database tables).

Thanks

Hi!

Once your (server sided) script recieves a value for 'region' you send the page back with a now populated list 'item', right? It's new pages every time, no javascript populating, is it? Once you recieve "item=thisandthat", too, you assume that the user has gone through both steps and is ready to be shown the details page (with further selects if necessary).
I'd just make this a tree-step process, choosing a region followed by choosing an item followed by being shown the details.

Regards,

Atrus.
