ok... it appears to be a case of user err.. the spec seems to state that if the user doesn't select/specify an item, the select should return the 1st item within the list... arrrgggh!! this is what's happening... so my question is still, how can i implement some logic that requires the user to actually select an item? or, how can i detect when a user has actually selected a list item?????? thanks... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: bruce [mailto:bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 7:07 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: how to create multiple selects within php hi... i can create a form with a single select by something like: <form> <select name='foo'> <option val='1'>fff</option> <option val='2'>aaa</option> </select> <input > </form> however, i need to know how to create a multiple menu/list within a single form. i've tried a few different approaches, but i'm doing something wrong, in that the querystring is being populated with a value for the select list var even though i don't select the item. if someone can point me to an actual working example of php code that generates multiple lists/menus within a form, i'd appreciate it!! thanks -bruce ps. if needed, i can supply the actual test code i've used to create the condition i'm describing... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
