How can I get the dropdown's selected value

[Devdex Developer]

You have to submit ur form under which your drop down element exist.
After submitting you can get it's value like this
to display
Response.Write request("NameOfcontrol")
to assign to some variable
ur variable request("NameOfcontrol")

Or you can even catch it with out submiting through java script.

I need help to display the selected value from database in the
dropdown list. Following is my code...but there are some error:

We are not looking over your shoulder at your screen. You need to tell us
what the errors are.

while NOT rs.EOF
If rs("Description") = rsStatus("sc_status") Then
strSelect = "SELECTED"
else
strSelect = ""
end if

Response.Write ("<option value = '" & rs("Description") & "' " &
strSelect & ">")
Response.Write (rs("Description"))
Response.Write ("</option>")

rsStatus.MoveNext
wend
