Not completely, it seems not directed at a serverside problem. Could you specify the serverside Q? It seeme you want dynamically changing formfields content. > Did I say I already have code that isn't working? Should you? Yes you should. This NG usually helps people that get stuck, but usually does not write code for others out of the blue. > I explain what I want and ask for suggestions.

Seems very clientside to me! Classic ASP does not know of forms nor of dynamically changing formfields. -- Evertjan. The Netherlands. (Please change the x'es to dots in my emailaddress)

Ajax is in fact clientside coding technology, as the requested html streamlayout from the server could be, but not necessarily has to be, prepared by serverside coding, which coding even then is not part of AJAX technology as such. > I was > asking the initial question to see where I should start - the last > sentence was "Any suggestions"?

So that is the bottom line: You are asking and at the same time think you have a right to determine how the response should be? While it was not my intention to be condescending, [you could be from the west side of the great pond, where such sensitivities excessively abound, as seen from the rest of cyberworld,] it won't do to expect the absence of condescence on usenet. > "Any suggestions"? So again, show us the serverside problem, and do some initial work yourself, and you have a good chance of getting help where you get stuck. -- Evertjan. The Netherlands.
