Problem in drop down

Hi All,
I have a problem in my drop down list.I have years from 2000 to 2005 in my drop down,what i want is,by default it shud display the current year.If a select a year and submits the form it shud display the selected year.But in my case it returns to the current year.Here i have pasted my piece of code,can any one help me to fix this problem?


Drop Down for select year :
-----------------------------------------------------------
<select size="1" name="y_year" class="textbox">
<% for i=2002 to year(date) %>
<option value="<%=i%>" <%=selyear(i,request("y_year"))%>><%=i%></option>
<%next%>
</select>
--------------------------------------------------------------




Function for displaying the selected year (selyear)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Function selyear(Source,requestyear)

if requestyear="" then
requestyear=0
end if

if cint(source)=cint(requestyear) then
selyear="selected"
else if cint(source)=cint(year(date)) then
selyear ="selected"
end if
end if

End Function
--------------------------------------------------------------

Can any fix this problem?.OR please show me an alternative way.

Hi
Problem seems to be with the selyear function.

Try following in the function .

if cint(source)=cint(requestyear) then
selyear="selected"
else
selyear =""
end if

Error in your code:
Because in the 2nd else if you are checking source with current year and for loop limit is also year(date). So it always selects the last one.

Hi brlele,
But it shud show the current year when the page is loaded,wheres in your modified code it shows up the first record..that is year 2003 as selected.

Any Idea???

Hi there
take request("y_year") in some variable
say
temp = request.form("y_year") ' this is after form is posted

'before posting the form
temp = year(date())
and now change the html code to following

<select size="1" name="y_year" class="textbox">
<% for i=2002 to year(date) %>
<option value="<%=i%>" <%=selyear(i,temp )%>><%=i%></option>
<%next%>
</select>

This will help I think.

No it did not work....again it goes back to default year.that is current year 2004.This is the problem what i had first.

Hi asp_kid
an you post the entire code for the page?

brlele

My code goes like this:


--------------function for selected drop down-----------------------

<% dim temp

temp = request.form("y_year")

Function selyear(source,requestyear)

if requestyear="" then
requestyear=0
end if

if cint(source)=cint(requestyear) then
selyear="selected"
else
selyear=""
end if

End Function
%>

-----------form for drop down year:-----------------------

<form name='frm' method='post' action='manageform.asp'>
<%temp=year(date)%>
<select size="1" name="y_year" class="textbox">
<% ' Start a loop to create the years prior and previous
for i = 2000 to year(date)%>
<option value="<%=i%>" <%=selyear(i,temp)%>><%=i%></option>
<% next %>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

I wanted the code of the entire page.

Anyway a pseudo code I am giving here
the following code is in xyz.asp

'=====================================
<%
dim temp
dim blnIsPageSubmit
blnIsPageSubmit = trim(request.form("hidIsSubmit"))

if blnIsPageSubmit = "1" then
temp = trim(request.form("y_year"))
else
temp = year(date())
end if
%>

<form name="frmXXX" action="xyz.asp" method="post">
code for the sel list
<input type="hidden" value="1" name="hidIsSubmit">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<%
'===================================
%>

Hope you'll get some idea out of this

Hi,
did u check your code?.I copied and tried to run your code.It did not work.What i want is when the page is loaded it show the current year as selected.If i select a year and submits the form.It should show up the year selected.

Your code diplays the starting year in the drop down

Hi

I didnt expect you to just copy and paste the code. That is why I mentioned its a pseudo code.
The whole idea was to make distinction between page submitted and the same page not submitted.

So its better if you can post the code of the entire page you are working on to the forum. Maybe then only one can give suggestions.
