Hi folks
I am currently developing a website which will sell various fittings and valves.
I want the site to have a search function which will use dynamic drop down menus.
For example: The user will select from menu 1, this then populates menu 2 with values related to the selection.
The user then selets from menu 2, which then populates menu 3.
I want to have 4 menus in this search function.
I had looked at possibly using Javascript on the client side and storing a reference to each product in arrays.The user would then select in each menu and this would fill the next one with values from a related array....When all this was complete then the DB would be searched using the selections from the menus (using ASP)
However due to an increase in the number of products this is not viable, so I have to now look at using ASP each time the user selects from a menu it will reference the DB on the server.
i.e. user selects from menu 1, query sent to DB and menu 2 populated with values.....etc
I am a newbie to ASP, and have been trying to pick it up in the last month.
Has anyone got any ideas on how this problem could be solved??
If I haven't made the problem clear enough then I will be more than happy to elaborate.
Regards
