Hello,I am a bit new to UD and ASP in general... But is it me, or are Jump Menus
with Dynamic Code a hassle to work with in DW MX?
In UD, you can assign Values and Labels to more than just recordset bindings
because you can manually edit the values in the Jump Menu dialog box. Now,
with MX, you can ONLY assign dynamic values that consist of Recordset
bindings. What gives? Am I missing something?
For example, lets say I was working with a map-lookup page that relied on
query strings to format the page:
.../map.asp?State=Illinois&City=Chicago
On that page, there would be a jump menu that would list different places in
Chicago (i.e. stadium, golf course, building)
How would I create a jump menu that would simply pass another query string
to the same page (depending on what they selected)?
For example, after selecting an item from the jump the URL would now be:
.../map.asp?State=Illinois&City=Chicago&Area=stadium or
.../map.asp?State=Illinois&City=Chicago&Area=golfCourse or
.../map.asp?State=Illinois&City=Chicago&Area=building
The tricky part is that after we are at the new URL... I would want to use
the jump menu again to change only the Area query string (keeping State and
City the same)...
Sorry if this is basic and I just don't know..
Thanks,
