I have a .net radiobutton list with 2 options. If the user clicks on rad1 then bindcombo1() method is called else bindmethod2() is called. This all works fine but the client has now asked that the process avoids the round trip meaning that I will have to perform this operation in javascript. Javscript and .net I struggle with and was wondering if you could give me a hand. Is it possible to populate a .net sropdown with javascript and if so how ? Thanks in Advance

Can anyone give me a url for a run down on web services? Preferably with a beginners slant. I want to develop a windows application which connects to a remote database (SQL Server 2000) using a web service and cant seem to find a good example anywhere. Thanks in Advance Lovelies

Good point but the problem I have is that the client is not to keen on having a permanent connection to their local Intranet server. They seem keen on finding another way but I dont really have the experience. This is why I was thinking on holding a local copy of the data and maybe updating it 2 or 3 times a day. How this could be achieved is something else. I knew I should have been a hairdresser.

Hi, I have just spoken to a client who has an SQL Server 2000 setup in his office and would like people to be able to log into a website in the public domain and view some of these details. At firat I thought about setting up a second SQL Server database on the web server and linking the 2 using the web servers database as a web back end. I have recently read about web services/soap and was wondering if instead of using a second sql server I could create a webservice instead. Is this a good/feasable solution? and if so can anyone reccomend a good starting point for a newbie in this field ? Any Sites,Newbie books e.t.c Thanks a lot:)

It doesnt work. No matter which button I hit it submits the form. AAARRRGGGHHH .net is driving me nuts.

I have 2 asp.net buttons. One submits the form but I want the other button to execute some code without submitting the form. Is this possible and if so how?

It's just the IDE I am using at the moment.

I have a page for editing a job . One of the underlying fields is StaffMember which contains a number (foreign key). e.g 1=John 2=Fred I have an asp.net combo for this field which is populated with a list of staff members and their number. This is so that when editing the user can change the member of staff associated with this record. The problem I have is that if I open the page to edit the record of 'Fred' the combo will always display the first entry 'John'. HOw can I get the combo to display the correct staff member and not the first ?

I am using Dreamweaver MX and cant find the appropriate properties to change to set 1 radio button as checked.

I have a radio list which contains 3 radio buttons. How do I set the first to be checked as default? TIA
