Hi,

I am trying to create a dynamic list box, where a user can select an item from the list box then click submit for it to go to a detailed page of the item selected.
At the moment i click on any item in the list box and it doesnt do anything. it goes to the correct page but does not display anything.
The detailed page works correctly as i have another page which also takes me there and the information displays correctly.
I just cannot get the list box to display the selected item.

i dont know if i am creating the list box wrong or if i have made a mistake in the recordset. currently the recordset links to a table which just shows a list of family members. this is what i want displayed in the list box and when selected goes to the page where it shows more information about the person.

I am using dreamweaver mx vbscript and asp

please can someone tell me how to create the dynamic list box to display the item selected.


thanks in advance

Are you setting your parameter properly? That is, are you looking for a
form value, or are you looking for a query string value?
