Setting A Default Option For A Comb Box


I need to set a default option
for a combo box that is not the first item in that combo box. Below
is an example. I can put the code below into a simple HTML file and
it works fine. It does NOT work in a ASP 3.0 app. I have tried two
seperate ASP apps as an example and NEITHER work. Code:

Setting Up A Default Media Dir.
All I want to do is set a session variable in my default page which points to a directory on my server where all media for my site is contained. Now, I used a session variable to do this, and fell into a trap. Say I set it up like this:

Session("mediadir")="D:dev<sitename>media". Now, when anyone looks at my site, the mediadir variable is trying to point to their d:dev.... What should I do. I know it is crazy, but I have mental blank.

Setting Printer Option From ASP Page
I have several asp pages which contains maps and I would like to provide an
easy way for users to print this maps and they do not have to go through
printer setup before they hit print on browser. I need to pre set the printer
to landscape and 11x17 from my asp page. Is it possible? How can I do this?

Setting A Default Value For The Input Type File?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.

Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?

Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

<OPTION value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">Federated
</OPTION>
</SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Option Value Tag
Below is an extract from a form that i am writing. I need the user to be able to have a drop down menu of languages. How do I use the 'option value' command in ASP like you can do in HTML.If someone could amend my code to give me a couple of language options so I can get an idea of how it is down.

<tr id="r_Lang">
<td class="ewTableHeader"><span>Language<span class='ewmsg'>&nbsp;*</span></span></td>
<td class="ewTableAltRow"><span id="cb_x_Lang">
<input type="text" name="x_Lang" id="x_Lang" size="30" maxlength="25" value="<%= Server.HTMLEncode(x_Lang&"") %>">
</span></td>
</tr>

Option Selected?
I have a form named: 'formhandheld' and a select with the name: 'pricing_option'.

I'm trying to make the select <option> thats based on 'axDD3current' selected.

what's the code ? Probably more of a JavaScript question than ASP

document.formhandheld.pricing_option.options[<%=axDD3current%>].selected;
the above doesn't work

ASP Dropdown Option Value
Here is my page:

<form name=myForm>
<select onChange="myForm.forename.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="Arnold">Pam
<option value="Mokoena">Joe
<option value="Seth">Pat
</select>

<input type=text name=forename disabled>
</form>

when inserting on the database,the value of the dropdown option is the same as the value of the textbox which is wrong.they must not have the same values example
when Pan is selected,then the value inserted to the database must be "pam" not Arnold.

Tooltip For Each Option In DDL

Passing 2 IDs Through An Option To Db
I need to pass an Cat_ID and Category from an option field on a form, but can't figure it out. the code on my form:

<select name="Cat" >

<option value="<% response.write rscat("Category") %>">
<% response.write rscat("Category") %>
</option>

rscat.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</select>

In the database, I have two fields which need to be filled in. The Category field and the Cat_ID field. How do I assign two values to the one field to pass this along?

Option On A Page
I want to know if you can write a print this page option to a page. I want to write this function in asp or vbscript. I know you can do this in javascript but I don't want tot use this. I also know there is a print fuinction in the browser this is also not what I'm looking for.

I want a piece of tekst which say something like "print this page" When you click on it a asp or vbscript will print the page to your own printer.

I need to know if this is possible and what the code is.

Option Select
i have a list of provinces in an option select right, so when i click one province i want it to chance the header of my page according to the provinces, and i have no idea on how to do that.

Select/Option
I have loaded a combobox (select) with a recordset from SQL Server. I am trying to accomplish two things, so I will break them up.1) Is there a way to allow the user to enter as many characters in the dropdown menu. For example, if you have serveral options in the dropdown menu that start with A, they can key in app.. to got to apples, instead of entering A and then having to keydown or click on the dropdown menu.

Granted there is a solution to #1, could you also allow the user to key information and if it is not apart of the dropdown menu, insert the value back into SQL (kind of like an notonlist event in Access).I have googled this and can't find anything, probably wrong keywords used.

Domain Option
Are there any articles / resources out there about the point of setting the domain when you set cookies? I have been able to find nothing and fail to see the point in setting a domain. As cookies can only be accessed by the domain that set them, what is the point in setting a domain? if the domain is set for say .example.com, can all subdomains read it?

Default Value
if for list box, check box or radio button. in asp. how can i write to make it a default value??

IE's Default
I'm using a binary stream to send down a file from the web server. I've been having trouble with IE and getting it to recognize my file. I've added the filename as a paramater(?filename=file.jpgw) to handle IE's mime type mangling, but I'm still having trouble with IE's default Save As Type being HTML. When we send down a jpgw (geo-jpeg) file IE wants to save it as an HTML file. I've got the correct filename showing in the Filename box, and if I choose the All Files option from the Save As Type drop down then the file is saved with the correct extension. I'd like to have the All Files option choosen by default. I know it's just a couple of clicks but we have some noivce users that can't seem to get that

Default
I wrote an application that generates reports.It then presents a page where
I click a button [javascript:print()] to open the print page. However, I
have a fixed printer and would like to know how to print to the default
printer without me clicking anything. So the page will just load up and
print. Or when I click a button. I just don't want the select printer screen
to pop up. Much similar to clicking the print button on top of the address
bar in Internet Explorer.

Default.asp
my new site uses default.asp, instead of using index.asp. this is how my old site was done. now i get error 500. is this because it is trying to find index.asp or because my database isn;t workjing properly? i'm tired and being stupid i think. it's reall probably the database, but i just want to make sure in my sleep deprived state.

Option Value Not Coming In Form
I have seen a code to populate a list box from a data base table. Earlier I gave my own values using HTML coding like :

<Option Value="P-159">P-159</Select>. It was working fine but not after using code to build a list box, it is not coming in form value as input and next redirecting page retutns with error:

two codes pages are attached : profile page and search page. Profile page sends input to search page and search pages returns the output.

Print Option Issue
Based on the layout selected by the user in the search page, im displaying the search result!! Now, i have to give him a option for "print"!! What code should i put in, so that he will have an Printer Friendly option and that prints the search output in the diplayed format!

SO_RCVBUF WinSock Option
The two options I am interested in modifying are:

Const SO_RCVBUF = &H1002& ' Receive buffer size.
Const TCP_NODELAY = &H1& ' Turn off Nagel Algorithm.

Again, I am just not sure what code should be used in ASP to accomplish
this.

Forcing Option Select?
I am trying to force the last option selected in a drop down!, I basically have a page with a drop down box in which sends to itselfs when selected, the idea is
the selected value updates a postage amount depending on the country selected from the dropdown.

However when it returns to the page it defaults back to 'select country' and I would really like it to be able to display the option selected as this is part of the address form.

the relevant country is correct, and i am putting that into a request.querystring so this variable (destination) is available to test/compare against and maybe force select this way, but i just don;t know how to write the asp/html to make the select value go to either this variable or the last one selected. Code:

Getting Text From Option Boxes
ok i need to get the text from an option box? i know you can do it with java script but it would make my life a lot easier if you can get it using asp. don't know if there is a method out there or what. any ideas?

Problem With Search For 2 Option...
I have 2 option for search, first, user must select both category and project and second, user must select project only. It means, i have 3 combobox. I've created search.asp and contact.asp (to display search result).

I've tested with only one option and it works. But when i include both option, it's not working. Code:

Code For Sign Out Option
I want to make sign out option in my website as like yahoo and hotmail.

Command.Timeout Option
I am using ADO to connect to a database to get some data that I then display
on my web page.

I build the entire script in ASP code the finally use response.write to get
the web page itself

When I create the connection object
set objConn = Server.Create.Object("Server.Command)
objConn.Timeout = 90

Even thought I set the time out to 90 seconds the time out occurs in 30
seconds. And this is pain as I have some large queries returning some 100K
records.

Is there any other way of increasing the timeout Is it a Registry setting on IIS?

Using Onchange With Option Lists
I am trying to take actions using onchange with an option list without success.

I am not able to fully populate the list without a bad bad behavior (the list is not getting populated)

What I am looking for, is being able to call a sub procedure each time a new item in the list is selected (of course after it has been populated)

Below some of the code: ....

Multiple Format Option
Reading through the CDO email articles on ASPFAQ. I see .textBody and .htmlBody as properties, was wondering if you can add BOTH to an email so that if a user has HTML enabled (lets say in Outlook) they get the HTML version, and if they dont, then it'll use the plain text version?

If this is the case please let me know as I need to finish this code this evening if possible and it would save me some testing.

Select Box Option Values
I am creating an application in ASP (old school ASP not .NET) and VBSCRIPT connecting to a SQL Server 2000 back end. There is a form on my webpage that has a select box in which <option> tags allow users choose a document type.

Once the document type is determined it is sent off as a parameter in a stored procedure on the databse. The recordset returned holds the values that are required to go in another set of options boxes.

(the next set of option box values depend on the query results). I know it sounds easy...I mean I know how to do it if it where on 2 seperate pages (thats easy) where it passes on the info...but this is for ONE asp page.

Select Name With Option Function
Is there a possibilty to use the function <SELECT NAME="user"><OPTION>user 1</OPTION></SELECT>
from a database. I want to get the data out from a table and store the data from that column in a dropdown box. What's the way to do this ?

Specify Default Button
I want to make it so that when the user is looking at a rendered ASP page
and they hit the ENTER key, one of the buttons on the form gets "clicked".
In other words I want for the user to not have to click on the button, and
just hit ENTER instead. How do I specify the button?

Combo Default Value
This is the code for a combo box, and I would like to make certain value the default value, so that appears unless users select somthing else.

call rs.Open("SELECT * FROM Trim.dbo.luDecisionMaker ORDER BY DecisionMakerName" _
, myCon)

do while not rs.EOF
Response.Write("<OPTION value=" & rs("DecisionMakerID"))
if rs("DecisionMakerID") = nDecisionMaker then
Response.Write(" selected")
end if
Response.Write(">" & _
rs("DecisionMakerName") & "</OPTION>" & Chr(10))
rs.MoveNext
loop

rs.Close

It comes from a table and has PropertyDetailsID(1,2,3,4) and PropertyDetailsname(Fee, 5,10,Other) and for example "Fee" needs to be the dafault value.

How do I make a value the default value for a combo box in ASP 3.0?

What I have below does NOT work, yet I've seen it in HTML file examples before (and works if I put it in a HTML file by itself, but not if I use it in a ASP 3.0 app.

i set up iis 5.0 on my local machine(win2kpro) (on a pvt LAN) at the default port. when i try to access asp it gives http 500 error. i have been able to configure cgi scripts but asp still doesnt work.

Default Dates
I have two drop down lists on one of my pages.One of the them lists all the MONTHS in a year, second one list a number of years starting for 2004. Users couldn't be bothered selecting that every time they are filling it in for submission, so they want me to popolute the two fields with the current month and the year automatically.

Plus the month has to be selected as a current month up to the 7th of every month,on the 7th it changes to the correct month. of basically if date is < 07/08/2004 = July.

Default Date
I need to display (and use as a hidden field) the date on a page. How do I change if from MM/DD/YYYY (e.g. 12/25/2004) to 25/DEC/04 . I'm putting it into an Oracle date field and it doesn't like the date in the first format.
