what i want to do is: assign values to a list of choices, whenever a user makes a choice, a related value will appear in a related table for purpose of later calculation.
Anyone has done this before? please help!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Well, if you're using a SELECT box, it's rather simple.

<select name="selectBox" onChange="javascript:setHidden()">
<option value="red">I like red</option>
<option value="green">I like green</option>
<option value="blue">I like blue</option>
<option value="cheese">I like cheese</option>
</select>

<input type="hidden" name="whatILike">

And then in a javascript code, place:

function setHidden(){
document.all.whatILike.value = document.all.selectBox.value;
}

This will place the VALUE of the selected option into the hidden form. Then to place it all into a table, setup the insert/update so that the hidden form places that data in the field you want.

Actually i am not a programmer. I am doing everything using application instead... i know a little SQL, nothing else<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
But at least i know now that this is doable...the rest is to figure it out from a non-programmer's perspective<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
Thanks anyway!

Im a designer by trade, but I found that the market wants a developer instead (actually, they'd like BOTH, but dev positions are what needs to be filled moreso thatn design)

Anyways, I got into ASP and SQL and the stuff is pretty nifty. Soon I shall have the power of both worlds! MWA HA HA! Online applications that LOOK COOL! MWA HA HA HA!
