How can I add a value to what displays from a function in my class when a user chooses an option from my drop down menu?
Here is my drop down menu:
<select id="dd">
<option>Red</option>
<option>Yellow</option>
<option>Green</option>
</select>
Then here is my class:
<script runat="server">
Class PetName
Public FirstName As String
Function GetName() As String
Dim Whole As String
Whole = FirstName
Return (Whole)
End Function
End Class
</script>
And here is where I set the value to be displayed (I currently have it set to a literal value, but I would like to set it to a value that is set when the user chooses an option in the select menu):
<%
Dim pet1 As PetName
pet1 = New PetName
pet1.FirstName = "Bob"
%>
And here is where it displays the value on the page: <p>Suggested Pet Name: <%=pet1.GetName%></p>
I know I can probably use an if/else statement, but how do I set it up? Do I set it within my Dim statement? If so, how?
Say I want to do this:
if dd.SelectedItem.Text = "Red" Then pet1.FirstName = "Sunny"
elseif dd.SelectedItem.Text = "Blue Then pet1.FirstName = "Ices"
Am I on the right track? How do I actually do this?
