Question

Dynamic Lists

Hiya,

Apologies is this is in the wrong place and apologies if this seems like a daft question!

I'm building a website that looks at a particular aircraft type. The major part of it is a database, which has the current record for each individual aircraft, as well as past history for each different owner etc.

One of the fields in the database is for the airport where the aircraft was based, as this is one part of the database I want to search on.

What I wanted to do was have a drop down list auto populated with all of the Bases from the database, that once selected goes off to a results page that brings back all the aircraft based at that airport.

But for some reason I can't seem to do this.

I've been using the List/Menu fuction, and making it Dynamic, but it nevers seems to work.

I've searched around for some idiot proof instructions, but couldn't find any.

I'm using CS3, ASP JavaScript

Thanks

Hi There,

It's the drop down list of airports that's not working. I'm probably just missing a step or something, but for some reason I'm completely vexed.

Thanks

Hey there,

Thanks for the suggestion on the extension. It's just a home project so I don't really want to spend more money. Many thanks for taking the time for the suggestion though.
