    Posted: 24 August 2003 at 9:10am

I am trying to use a For/Next loop to populate a dropdown.  My problem is my code is not inserting a break where needed so all the values show on one line.  Here is the code:

<option>

<%

For i = 1910 to 1990

response.write i & "<br>"

Next

%>

</option>

Can you see my error.

For i = 1910 to 1990

Response.Write i
Response.Write "<br>"

No go.  Same result.  I think I need to change the <option> codes because the code is reading all of the possible values for i as one option.

This should take care of that...

<%
 Dim i
 Response.Write ("<select name=""name_of_the_dropdown"">" & vbCrlf)
 For i = 1910 to 1990
  Response.Write ("<option value=""" & i & """>" & i & "</option>" & vbCrlf)
 Next
 Response.Write ("</select>" & vbCrlf)
%>

Ya... Otherwise the source looks little ugly. All the <options> are put in the same line. vbCrlf just adds a break...

Thanks for all the input.  I never realized there were so many ways of doing things.  The following worked for me.  Please let me know if anyone sees any problems that I may not realize.

<select size="1" name="myyear" tabindex="3">

<option selected>Year</option>

<%

For i = 1910 to 1995

%>

<option><% response.write i %></option>

<%

Next

%>

</select>
