Thaks for that Mick
One more thng. How would i be able to set the drop down inactive within an if statement using javascript,
Basically i want to control the disabled attribute based on the condition in the if statement.
Hence i am looking for something like: -

<html>
<body>

<form action="">
<select name="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat" selected="selected">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>
<%if (condition) {
Select("cars") disabled="disabled"; //Something like this hence controlling the disabled state outside of the
} //select clause.

</body>
</html>

I hope am making sense,

Regards
Fifo

There's an HTML tag to do it. Add
disabled="disabled"
as an attribute
