Hi, I need help!

On my page I have no connection to the db, how do I create a lookup to point to a DB where I specify a query and result to my dropdown.

Hi, I do have acces with server name & password with db - i just dont know how to the code for setting up the connection string.

I need to create connection specifying all db credentials and then specify query for lookup:

I have a blank html page:

<html>
<body>
<select id="test">
<options>lookup</options>
</select>
</body>
</html>

I then need to pass the selected value to a parameter

Please assist!
