How many options in the dropdown..

[turfbult]

Hello,

I have a page "pageOne", with a dropdown menu on it which dynamically changes according to user input - eg the user can add/delete entries/options from the dropdown. On this page I have a submit button, which when clicked posts to another page "pageTwo". In "pageTwo" I want to write some script, preferably ASP, to determine how many options/entries the dropdown on "pageOne" has.

The reason why I want to do this is because I then want to "build" x amount of textboxes on "pageTwo" (on the fly) - where x is the amount of options which the dropdown on "pageOne" had.

Thanks,
T

Don't kill me if I'm wrong, but...

If you submit the COMBO box , it will only submit the value the user selected in the box.

If i was u, i would when then user press the submit button, run thru code on client side to deterine how many options are there.

Send the value to your page2 as a hidden field. This is vbscript you might want to use to determine how many options are there.

<Script language = "vbscript">

function gettotal()
dim total

total = document.combo1.length
form.total.value = total
form.submit

end function

</Script>

Hope it helps!
