Building options list from XML

[Bob Rouse]

I am trying to get an ASP page to dynamically populate an Options list for
a "combo box" (drop down) Select control, based on XML retrieved from another
ASP page (I can build the ASP internally, if necessary).

I know how to process XML using DOM in VBScript, and I know how to add and
delete entries from the options list using javascript, but I don't know how
to do both in one language.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Bob Rouse

Why don't you use ASP to dynamically generate the combo box?
<%
Response.write "<SELECT>"
DO WHILE youHavedata
Response.write "<OPTION>" & YourXMLdata & "</OPTION>
LOOP
Response.write "</SELECT>"
%>
