sir ,
thanks for that detailed solution. but i guess my problem was
simpler. i cudnt explain it properly .
below is the code for the html page generated by C_login.asp .
I've to rebuilt this page in zope and as u'll see i've alraedy the
javascript functionality that u've mentioned in 3rd soln.
but the javascript is not at all being executed in zope.
it will obviously give error as soonas u select some district coz
the original asp is not there. but this is wat i wanted : as soon
as i select a district the the corresponding user list in next
combobox sud appear.the data are being fetched from Mysql using
the ZSQL queries.
AND CAN WE ANYWAY USE JAVASCRIPT IN DTML DOCUMENTS.
please tell me the soln in ZOPE.
CODE c_login.asp.html
