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:

For i = 1910 to 1990

response.write i & "<br>"

</option>

Can you see my error.

try splitting the i and br writing.

For i = 1910 to 1990

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

Next

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)
%>

use VbCrlf it will insert a line break

For i = 1910 to 1990

response.write i & 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.

For i = 1910 to 1995

</select>
