Drop down box

[Bahram]

Hi;
My customer selects an option from a drop down box
named "DEPT" with option of "BAGS" and "BELTS". After
selection, I want to tell them that they have
selected "BAGS" or ..
What is the syntax for the selected value?
I have tried the followings but none worked"
<% respone.write(DEPT.value.option) %>
<% respone.write(DEPT.value) %>
<% respone.write(DEPT) %>
Thanks in advance

What is the syntax for the selected value?

<select size="1" name="dept">
<option value="bags" <%
if request("dept") = "bags" then
response.write "selected"
end if
%>>Bags</option>
<option value="belts"<%
if request("dept") = "belts" then
response.write "selected"

%>>Belts</option>

Hi Bahram,

Assuming that the selection drop down has a name of DEPT then
response.write request.form("DEPT") will display their selection from it.
