Since ASP is a server-side technology, the short answer is no. You can of
course use JavaScript client-side to populate your form controls based upon
user selection of other controls. But all the data has to be there when the
page loads. You cannot execute ASP code in response to user input without
making a return trip to the server. In other words, you can do what you want
to do but it will have to involve careful integration of both server-side
and client-side scripting.

I don't know if that answer is helpful or not.
