Fair enough
I would be interested in seeing how this would be done in ASP ?
But in case anyone else is wondering how they would do this:
Carry a number form one form to another and show/hide divs depending on this number.
Here is one method (there will be others)
This one uses
Java
VB
CSS
HTML
1st create 2 forms (ASPX)
call them Form1 and Form2
Code for form1
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server" method="post">
<asp:DropDownList id="MyListBox" runat="server">
<asp:listitem></asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem>1</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem>2</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem>3</asp:listitem>
<asp:listitem>4</asp:listitem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<br />
<asp:Button id="btnSubmit" runat="server" postbackurl="form2.aspx" text="Next Form Go" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Code for form2
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="en-gb" http-equiv="Content-Language" />
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title></title>
<script runat="server" language="VB" type="text/vb">
Dim strSomeNumber
Sub Page_Load()
strSomeNumber = Request.Form("MyListBox")
txtMyNumber.Text = strSomeNumber
End Sub
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#txtMyNumber {
display: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox id="txtMyNumber" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<div id="MyDiv1">
Div number 1 is showing</div>
<br />
<div id="MyDiv2">
Div number 2 is showing</div>
<br />
<div id="MyDiv3">
Div number 3 is showing</div>
<br />
<div id="MyDiv4">
Div number 4 is showing</div>
<br />
<asp:Button id="btnSubmit" runat="server" postbackurl="form1.aspx" text="Go Back" width="78px" />
<br />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectrooms() {
var numdivs = 4;
var num = document.getElementById("txtMyNumber").value;
for (var i =1; i<=numdivs; i++) {
var which = "MyDiv" + i;
document.getElementById(which).style.display = num>=i? "block" : "none";
}}
window.onload=selectrooms ;
</script>
</body>
</html>
I hope someone will post a much simpler method of doing this - but until then this should start you along the way.
NOTE - I normally work with MySQL/SQL/VBA etc. I DON'T do websites, but due to cutbacks I am now the firm's webbie
