more asp stuff

[artsapimp]

I am going to do my best to explain what I'm doing here, it may be a little confusing.

I have a page called new.asp which has 12 categories to rate support reps while being monitored. Each category also has a MORE button, when clicked a new window (moregreeting.htm, moreaccuracy.htm, etc.) opens with nothing but a textarea and a submit button.

This textarea is made so the observer can note each category with examples.

All of this is running to an access database.

As of right now if the observer just fills out the form and submits it everything works fine. If he/she clicks the "more" button it opens the correct window like it's supposed to also.

BUT...
When you click submit on the popup window (moregreeting.htm) it doesn't know which recordset to apply these notes to.

How can I make this work as I expected it to? Thanks

Here is a screenprint of new.htm.

Alright, I am still working on it and think I have some ideas here but I'm not dont yet. I decided that using sessions might be the way to make this work and decided to try a few things.... obviously not working. Please tell me if I'm way off or if this makes sense to anyone.

ok, I fixed that. But I obviously have another problem. On the same main page there is a checkbox. When checked I want more information to show to explain each category. When unchecked it will look exactly the same as it does in the screen print.

Does anyone know of a javascript or anything that would allow this to happen? Thanks

The easy way is to use stylesheets and javascript (client-side) to toggle the visibility on and off. You can set up the explanation in HTML with a class whose style (defined in your stylesheet) is not visible. Set up a javascript function to change this class' style to visible and trigger it by the onChange event of the checkbox (if it is checked, make it visible, else make it invisible).

BUT this works only in IE. If your viewers use Netscape ro another browser that doesn't use stylesheets, you have to resort to other tricks.
A web site I'm working on hadda do just that to make it NS-comlpliant. If you want, I can cruise through the scripts when I get back (I'm vacatin' right now) and give you a heads up.

Thanks. But I decided to use a simple javascript to create a popup window which gives a basic example. Thanks for the reply and have a good vacation.

Probably will be a heckuva lot simpler than CSS and all that.

Oh, I'm enjoying! And keep your head down if Deb decides to stretch her "right-front" you way!
