Anything I want?
Seriously, I do know how to pass a "non-dynamic" element from one
page to another page, but when I started researching on how to
utilize dynamic menus based on user input, I found Ajax, until this
problem that I am running into hits me.
Is there some way that I could generate dynamic select menus without
using Ajax? Or, is that asking too much?
Thanks for your help.

Alice:
No offense, but considering what you posted when you started this
exchange, it did not appear that you knew how to use forms. But on
the other hand, I don't know what "non-dynamic" elements are.
Now on to your problem -- you want to "generate dynamic select menu"
-- I'm not sure what those are either. I think you need to start
using the terminology used in html, controls, and such. You can't
just throw terms together hoping that the person at the other end
knows what you're talking about.
In any event, here's something for you to consider:
http://www.webbytedd.com/a/ajax-controls/
It shows how to use javascript to detect user's actions in input
elements (i.e., text, radio, checkboxes, etc.) and select elements.
From those routines, you should be able to construct whatever
"dynamic select menus" you want. All the code is there -- just review
it.
It would be a trivial matter to add a Submit button to the form to
pass these values to the server via traditional means and thus the
Submit was omitted to show how Ajax Controls work.
However, it is important to note that the example provided above is
not unobtrusive -- it is an early example of how all of this was
done. There are more appropriate ways to accomplish this, but they
require more abstraction, which would probably lead to more confusion
on your part -- no offense meant.
I suggest you read "DOM Scripting" and "Advance DOM Scripting" both
published by Friends of ED. They are well worth the cost/effort to
read and would give you a better understanding of the processes
involved.
Cheers,
