Dwayne,
This code would go at the top of your page within the script tags.
If Request("selected_month") <> "" Then
selected_month = Request("selected_month")
Else
selected_month = DatePart("m", Date())
End If
Your select would then make a match on select_month to the month and
select the correct one. I didn't really mess with your onchange. You say
that you have that part working, so I just popped in your code snippet
so that I could show how to put the if statement with in the option
block.
<select name="optMonth" size="1" id="optMonth"
onchange="document.location.href = myPage.asp?selected_month=x;">
<option value="0" <%if selected_month= 0 then %>selected<%
end if %>></option>
<option value="1" <%if selected_month= 1 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Jan</option>
<option value="2" <%if selected_month= 2 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Feb</option>
<option value="3" <%if selected_month= 3 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Mar</option>
<option value="4" <%if selected_month= 4 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Apr</option>
<option value="5" <%if selected_month= 5 then %>selected<%
end if %>>May</option>
<option value="6" <%if selected_month= 6 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Jun</option>
<option value="7" <%if selected_month= 7 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Jul</option>
<option value="8" <%if selected_month= 8 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Aug</option>
<option value="9" <%if selected_month= 9 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Sep</option>
<option value="10" <%if selected_month= 10 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Oct</option>
<option value="11" <%if selected_month= 11 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Nov</option>
<option value="12" <%if selected_month= 12 then %>selected<%
end if %>>Dec</option>
</select>

Subject: [wdvltalk] Passing value to self based on user event
I have what seems a relatively simple task. Build a drop-down list of
months that defaults to the current month. If the user has selected a
different month, we reload the page with the selected month -- the
onchange event in the dropdown does:
document.location.href = myPage.asp?selected_month=x
With "x" being the value of the drop-down. That works fine... but how
to handle inital load? I tried:
user_selection = request("selected_month")
if isNull(user_selection) then
today_date = date()
selected_month = month(today_date)
else
change_month = selected_month
end if
This doesn't work. I also tried rather than isNull if user_selection =
0 but that also seems to fail.
This is prolly a simple fix but can't see the forest pass the trees.
Appreciate any help...
