Hi,

I am currently trying to create a session variable for the value a user selects from a list box.

I have managed to do this for a text box by using:

<%=Session("strFirstName")%> in the VALUE field of the text box.

I am aware that this will not work in the VALUE portion of a list box but i'm not sure where it should go.

Does any one have any ideas?

Many Thanks!
Ru

Try using label = in the option tag

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately it did not work.

I am pretty sure I am doing as you asked - but still no joy.

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

<SELECT NAME=strFrmTitle>
<OPTION label = "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" VALUE="Mr"SELECTED>Mr
<OPTION label = "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" VALUE="Mrs">Mrs
<OPTION label = "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" VALUE="Ms">Ms
<OPTION label = "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" VALUE="Mst">Mst
<OPTION label = "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" VALUE="Other">Other
</SELECT>

*******************
'Create session variables for each of the user input details
Session("strTitle") = Request("strFrmTitle")

Value= "<%=Session("strTitle")%>" and you will have to do a conditional check to see if a session variable has been set for strTitle or the entire list should be displayed.

Hi Rockn

I've tried what you suggested but i still cannot seem to get it to work - am i doing something wrong?

Do you have any other ideas .... Please?!?

Thank you.


My listbox code looks like this

<SELECT NAME=strFrmTitle>
<OPTION VALUE="<%=Session("strTitle")%>" SELECTED>Mr
<OPTION VALUE="<%=Session("strTitle")%>">Mrs
<OPTION VALUE="<%=Session("strTitle")%>">Ms
<OPTION VALUE="<%=Session("strTitle")%>">Mst
<OPTION VALUE="<%=Session("strTitle")%>">Other
</SELECT>


And I (attempt to!) create my session variables like this:

strTitle = Request("strFrmTitle")

if strTitle = "Mr" then
Session("strTitle") = "Mr"
elseif strTitle = "Mrs" then
Session("strTitle") = "Mrs"
elseif strTitle = "Ms" then
Session("strTitle") = "Ms"
elseif strTitle = "Mst" then
Session("strTitle") = "Mst"
elseif strTitle = "Other" then
Session("strTitle") = "Other"
end if

<SELECT NAME=strFrmTitle>
<%if Session("strTitle")="Mr" then sSel="selected" else sSel=""%>
<OPTION <%=sSel%>>Mr
<%if Session("strTitle")="Mrs" then sSel="selected" else sSel=""%>
<OPTION <%=sSel%>>Mrs
<%if Session("strTitle")="Ms" then sSel="selected" else sSel=""%>
<OPTION <%=sSel%>>Ms
<%if Session("strTitle")="Mst" then sSel="selected" else sSel=""%>
<OPTION <%=sSel%>>Mst
<%if Session("strTitle")="Other" then sSel="selected" else sSel=""%>
<OPTION <%=sSel%>>Other
</SELECT>

-------------------------------------

Session("strTitle") = Request("strFrmTitle")

You don't know how long i've been trying to figure that one out. It looks so simple now!

Thanks again.
