Question

I have created a form, but but would like the first field to be a dropdown box. I need this dropdown box to be populated with information from an SQL database. I am quite new to web developing but have a basic level of knowledge. The database is setup and the information is available to populate the dropdown. The code I have for the form is below:

<form name="Enter New Model" method="Post" action="savePerson.asp">

<table>
<tr><td><h3>Serial No: </td></h3>
<td><input type="text" name="SerialNo" size="50"></td></tr>
<tr><td><h3>Make/Model: </td></h3>
<td><input type="text" name="[Make/Model]" size="50"></td></tr>
<tr><td><h3>Next Upgrade: </td></h3>
<td><input type="text" name="NextUpgrade" size="50"></td></tr>
<tr><td><h3>Stock: </td></h3>
<td><input type="text" name="Stock" size="50"></td></tr>
</table>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

The serial no field needs to be a dropdown.

Thanks

You’ll need to use a server side code to do this. There are many available, such as ASP.net or PHP, Node, etc etc…
