ASP/VB Coding question
I am working on an assignment that requires me to have a drop down menu with options of colors. When the user selects one of those colors the page needs to refresh and change the object to that specific color. I was wondering how to go about doing this?

I already have the list added with colors and shows the list in asp code page. It also created a menu section in the visual basic code page which was completely blank. I just don't know how to approach the coding of when the user clicks a color it changes it to the color selected?

One option is to have an optional query string param so when they choose a color response.redirect to your page with that query string param

I figured it out after messing with it some more. I ended up doing if statements that tested if the object was selected then changed the other object's properties. It worked when I set a property that automatically refreshes the page with appropriate changes.
