I have a drop-down menu that has an onchange event to it, but the form executes a different page and I only want it to reload the current page. But, the URL is dynamic.
It could look like this:
prodImg.asp?action=edit&upd=XX
or
prodImg.asp?action=new
Is it possible to do this? |

Do you want to share a bit more code as I have a small idea, but don't want to put a heap of code if it is not what I am thinking it is.

Here is the select:
<SELECT Name="idcategory" MULTIPLE size=10 onChange="document.prodForm.submit();">
Here is the FORM tag:
<form method="post" action="prod_exec.asp" name="prodForm" onSubmit="return checkForm(this);">
When the Select tag onchange triggers the form, it tries to call prod_exec.asp which I don't want to do. I want to refresh the page, but it isn't as simple as putting in the url in the onchange event because as I described above, that URL is dynamic like this:It could look like this:
prodImg.asp?action=edit&upd=XX
or
prodImg.asp?action=new

Would a window.location.reload(); not do the trick?

Shaggy,
No. Because to reload the subcategories, it is figuring out which category was selected to determine which subcategories to show by a request.form:
catChosen = Request.Form("CategorySelect") |

| I was looking at Bill Wilkinson's example. Even he triggers the form action to accomplish this. I have no idea how to refresh it without triggering the form action. Here is his example that I've followed pretty closely. Any idea? Example |

What I was going to suggest then, was pulling all the subcategories out when loading the page and dropping them into javascript arrays based on their parent category and then using this to populate the dropdown with the necessary subcategories.

| Not bad - a little bit complicated for what I was doing. Wilkinson's solution was quick and simple: View solution. |

Hmm ... to me, that seems overly complicated but to each their own.
