In my last article about the single form URPMs, I spoke about a couple of possible enhancements that could be done to improve them, such as having the ability to store the list values and to populate the menus directly from a database. Since that time, I have received several emails from people wanting me to elaborate on how one could go about integrating these improvements into their pages. Rather than try to answer everyone individually, I decided to write another article to deal with all these issues.
This article is divided into two parts. The first one covers some changes that I made to the JavaScript code, including how the menu's value properties are stored. The second part deals with an ASP script I wrote to extract the list items from a database. It covers how to add the script to your page with minimal effort, followed by a line by line explanation of the code. For most people, this detail section can be avoided, unless you who want to customize the code, or just like to know how things work.
