filling combobox

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can someone help me to modify the default.asp that the list will be shown in a combobox (news_id and news_title) instead of a list???

here's the content of the default.asp (standard webwizNews default.asp):

<% Option Explicit %>
<!--#include file="common.asp" -->
<%
Dim rsNews   'Database recordset holding the news items
Dim intRecordPositionPageNum 'Holds the number of the page the user is on
Dim intRecordLoopCounter 'Loop counter to loop through each record in the recordset
Dim intTotalNumNewsEntries 'Holds the number of News Items there are in the database
Dim intTotalNumNewsPages 'Holds the number of pages the News Items cover
Dim intLinkPageNum  'Holds the number of the other pages of news itmes to link to

'If this is the first time the page is displayed then set the record position is set to page 1
If Request.QueryString("PagePosition") = "" Then
 intRecordPositionPageNum = 1
'Else the page has been displayed before so the news item record postion is set to the Record Position number
Else
 intRecordPositionPageNum = CInt(Request.QueryString("PagePosition"))
End If
