Return Search Results on the Same Page

[shell]

I am new to ASP and would like to write a page with a drop
down listbox on the top of the page. As soon as user
choose a value in the dropdown, the resulting records
based on the chosen value will display below the dropdown.

How do I do this without reloading a new page with the
results and that the time that user has to wait can be
minimized?

You will need to use client-side code to achieve this, which goes beyond the
scope of this newsgroup. However, here are a couple option:

a) use frames

b) use XMLHTTPRequest: for an example of this, get my dynamic listbox demo
at
[url]http://www.thrasherwebdesign.com/index.asp?pi=links&hp=links.asp&c=&a=clear[/url]

You should follow this up on a client-side coding newsgroup: m.p.scripting.*
or any group with "dhtml" in its name.

Thanks Bob for your advice. I will look at your example
later. I do not want to use frames on the page, if I want
the page to be supported by older browsers, can I still
use XMLHTTPRequest?

Thanks,
Shell
