Actually that 4guysfrom... link that you mentioned
shows a way around this very problem, which means
you can eliminate the loop.
Assume that your admin form has generated a HTML text list
instead of plain text list :
<select name="OtherLang1">
<option value="en">english</option>
<option value="fr">french</option>
<option value="it">italian</option>
</select>
And you have logged in with the language selected as italian...
(so strLoggedinLang = "it")
I guess you would read the combox html into a string variable...
using :
fso.openfile
and then fso.readall into a string variable (lets call the
variable containing the HTML text list as "strCombo")
Now you can just do a replace of <option value="it"> in the strCombo
string using the vbscript Replace() function, something like :
Replace(strCombo, "<option value="""+strLoggedinLang+"">",
"<option selected value="""+strLoggedinLang+"">")
So you can do away with that while loop and the makeOpt() stuff...
I am sure a similar method will work for multiple select list boxes.
