vb.net - How can I retrieve the string value of the selected select element item? -
a previous question here related.
what find need know, though, more specific, namely, how can retrieve string value of selected select element item?
this i'm using grab value:
subcategory = request.form.item("selectsubcategory").tostring() ...but it's assigning "0" subcategory, no matter item selected.
here everywhere "subcategory" appears in code:
declared:
dim subcategory string assigned (as shown above):
subcategory = request.form.item("selectsubcategory").tostring() database write:
query2 &= "set subcategory = @subcat " . . . .parameters.add("@subcat", sqldbtype.nvarchar).value = subcategory select element code:
<select name="selectsubcategory" color="<%=session("textcolor")%>" style="font: 8pt arial" onchange="updateflag=true;"> <% if not isnewbusiness then%> <option <% if subcategory = "0" response.write(" selected")%> value="0">existing <option <% if subcategory = "1" response.write(" selected")%> value="1">organic growth <% else%> <option <% if subcategory = "0" response.write(" selected")%> value="0">new <option <% if subcategory = "1" response.write(" selected")%> value="1">assumed <% end if%> </select> why "0" assigned subcategory? how can assign selected item's text value instead?
update
based on other things have read, thought maybe needed decorate select element "runat="server"" jazz. when did that, so:
<select name="selectsubcategory" runat="server" color="<%=session("textcolor")%>" style="font: 8pt arial" onchange="updateflag=true;"> i got this:
parser error description: error occurred during parsing of resource required service request. please review following specific parse error details , modify source file appropriately. parser error message: server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs. source error: line 767: </td> line 768: <td nowrap align="left" valign="top"> line 769: <select name="selectsubcategory" runat="server" color="<%=session("textcolor")%>" style="font: 8pt arial" onchange="updateflag=true;"> line 770: <%--<asp:dropdownlist name="selectsubcategory" color="<%=session("textcolor")%>" style="font: 8pt arial" onchange="updateflag=true;">--%> line 771: <% if not isnewbusiness then%> source file: /ems/pages/custmaint_entry.aspx line: 769 to paraphrase pulitzer-prize-winning hero of hibbing,
update 2
it happened again; no changes code (or, more precisely, trying under sun , reverting tried, didn't work before), works. las campanas del infierno!
i still or having this:
subcategory = request.form.item("selectsubcategory").tostring() ...and this:
<select name="selectsubcategory" color="<%=session("textcolor")%>" style="font: 8pt arial" onchange="updateflag=true;"> ...and @ works, whereas didn't before.
i can't tell y'all how glad getting out of programming; don't think stand more week of this. burned out? i'm charred smoldering crisp.
