dropdown question

[Anon]

I made a change to my code. it's not workign so now I'm wondering if possible.

<tr>
<td width="107">Reason:</td>
<td width="346"><select size="1" name="Reason">
<option value="value1">Value1</option>
<option value="value2">Value2</option>
<option value="value3">Value3</option>
<option value="$valuebox">Other</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="107">Other:</td>
<td width="346"><textarea rows="3" cols="36" name="valuebox"></textarea></td>
</tr>

is this how you would do it?

Thanks for the help all

... and "not working" means what?

Did you mean to have $valuebox in the middle of your HTML?

<option value="$valuebox">Other</option>

Just say "other" instead of $valuebox, and then go

if($Reason=='other') $Reason=$valuebox;

at some appropriate point in the form data processing (before you use $Reason for anything else).

not working means it never gets the vaule of other ($valuebox)

[Anon]

yes I have it in another piece of code and it works fine
