Open PDF from menu/list box?

Report · Jun 02, 2007

I would like to be able to have site visitors view a list of PDF's in a menu/list box and then be able to open the PDF they select. Now, I have the menu box in a form. Selecting a PDF, then clicking the forms submit button, brings up another form. the second form shows the record (the PDF which was selected) - and clicking the submit button brings up the PDF. I would like it to be a one-click process versus what I have now.
I don't know what code to palce for the 'action' attached to the first submit button.
I would appreciate any help. I am using ASP js.
Thanks

You still need to have a single action on the first form to handle the
selection but what I would do is send it to a page and use a
Response.Redirect to send them to the write page. The following is vb script
by you should be able to convert it to js.

<%
dim gotoPDF
gotoPDF = request.form("SelectName")
Response.Redirect gotoPDF
%>
