sorry, if you meant "I know ASP and do not know CF, but have to do this in a CF site", then this is the place to ask your question. and the short answer is: - set up a DSN in CF Administrator - use <cfquery> tag to query your db - use <cfoutput> or <cfloop> to output the recordset returned by <cfquery>
oh, and it has to be a .cfm page, not .htm/.html (unless your CF server is configured to process .htm/.html templates as well) Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ ismail cassiem wrote: > I'm using aspx and not coldfusion at all. > > I don't know how to connect to the db from blank html. > > <html> > <body> > <select id="test> > <options>Qry</options> > </select> > </body> > </html> > > Regards > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:315523 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
