Hi Murray
Not sure how to do that with my code.

This is what i'm using :

<select name="manufacturer" class="dropdown_form_box" id="manufacturer"
onchange='this.form.submit()'>
<option value="value">Please Select
Manufacturer</option>
<%
While (NOT RSManufacturers.EOF)
%>
<option
value="<%=(RSManufacturers.Fields.Item("ManufacturerID").Value)%>"><%=(RSManufacturers.Fields.Item("Manufacturer").Value)%></option>
<%
RSManufacturers.MoveNext()
Wend
If (RSManufacturers.CursorType > 0) Then
RSManufacturers.MoveFirst
Else
RSManufacturers.Requery
End If
%>
</select>

Explain to your boss the downside. You remove a very valuable function from
the status bar (I can see where a link is going to take me, and this
encourages me to continue browsing your site). If you obfuscate this
function, then I worry about *why* you are blocking me from that
information. In addition you create this continuing visual distraction that
draws my eye away from the meaningful content on the page.

Your boss needs a boot....

OK - this is how you are passing the selection in that first list?

results_manufacturer.asp?menuselect=e

and presumably, the value of menuselect will change depending on your
selection? So you would do this -

<option value="5"<% if menuselect='a' (response.write('
selected=\"selected\"')) %>>Alphatek</option>

and adapt for each option.

By the way - why do you have that annoying crawler on the status bar?

Hi Murray
The page can be seen at http://www.test4less.co.uk/leadsearch.asp

The drop downs are dynamic and the page has two forms which post the the
page.
The first drop down filters all of the manufacturers
The second uses quite a complex SQL statement that filters all the products
to populate the second drop down menu.

Thanks Murray
Andy

Show us the page, please. This should be pretty simple, but it would depend
on how you have implemented the page, and how you are passing the value.
