Hi, everyone  I am new here and need help with something I have been trying to get for over a month now.

I know a lot of people use ASP to generate an advanced search on their page.  The only thing is I don't know how.  I have 470 watches, so far on my site, and I would like to be able to create a search page that allows my viewers to simplify their search.

Ex:  I would like these options  a drop down menu for name brand watches, a search box for item numbers, a dropdown menu for starting at price and for ending at price, and a search box for keywords.  Then the submit button.

Does anyone know how to do this because I am clueless.  I tried to follow some examples I found on the web but no results ever comes up.  I would appreciate your help.

Well first I don't know if anyone would write you a complete app here but first off to lead you in the right direction it helps to know what kind of backend you are using. And IMHO it is always better to try something and then when there is an error or something to post here.

Thanks for your reply!

I have tried something but it doesn't work.  I could list the script I got from a tutorial online.  I wasn't really looking for anyone to script it for me.  I just wanted you to understand fully what I was trying to do.  I was told in a tutorial to make 2 asp files.  Anyway, they said that the second script would search thru the files in my directory and post results.  It didn't work.  One containing this code that I tried to manipulate a little:

<form method="POST" action="TextSearch.asp"><b> Brands:&nbsp; </b><select size="1" name="brand"><option value="any">All Brands</option>

<option selected>Bulova</option>

<option >Calvin Klein</option>

<option >Casio</option>

<option >Citizen</option>

<option >Colibri</option>

<option >Croton</option>

<option >Festina</option>

<option >Fossil</option>

<option >Gucci</option>

<option >Invicta</option>

<option >Kenneth Cole</option>

<option >Lassale</option>

<option >Luminox</option>

<option >Movado</option>

<option >Nike</option>

<option >Omega</option>

<option >Pulsar</option>

<option >Rado</option>

<option >Seiko</option>

<option >Swatch</option>

<option >Swiss Army</option>

<option >Tag</option>

<option >TimeCove</option>

<option >Timex</option>

<option >Vanceur</option>

<option >Visage</option>

<option >Wittnauer</option>

<option >Wenger</option>

</select> <b>Starting Prices:&nbsp; </b><select size="1" name="starting prices">

<option >&nbsp;</option>

<option VALUE="20">$20 &amp; Below

<option VALUE="80">$80

<option VALUE="130">$130

<option VALUE="200">$200

<option VALUE="300">$300

<option VALUE="400">$400

<option VALUE="500">$500

<option VALUE="600">$600

<option VALUE="700">$700

<option VALUE="800">$800

<option VALUE="900">$900

<option VALUE="1000"><

It has one but I tried using that one and it didn't work for me.  I think my problem is that I am trying to customize the codes and not doing a very good job at it.
