What I am trying to find out is, when I have my form with a

just allow users to type stuff, it passes the form back to itself
and works. However, what I want
to do is to allow users click one radio button/checkbox, and use
that value to determine which "select menu" to bring up. However,
the information I am only interested in storing, is the value of the
select menu and not the radio button/checkbox.
Am I making sense here?
and
Maybe that is why I cannot pass the information on in the "hidden"
value, but what have I missed here? Ajax? PHP? I am getting
confused.

Alice:
That's the reason why I am taking this in steps instead of hitting
you with all the buzz-words you were throwing around when we started.
If you don't know how to pass variables from one page to another,
then why require ajax? That only complicates the process. There are
several methods to pass variables from one page to another. You could
have everything contained in a single page, but let's just solve your
problem.
To pass things from one page to another has been demonstrated to you
in the examples I provided, namely:
http://webbytedd.com/cccc/alice
and
http://webbytedd.com/cccc/alice1
Those forms are passing data as the user clicks submit.
Now, you want the user to pick a value and then pass that value to a
different page to bring up a different select control, right?
Please review this:

That does everything you ask and it does it simply without ajax. From
these examples you should be able to create just about anything you
want.
Cheers,
