Drop Down Box/Lists

[Anon]

ok i have a dynamicaly generated drop down list/box with 2 values in it, the string say "php" and then the value of that string, say "4", these are in a form, when i click submit only the value part of it is sent through with the GET form,how would i be able to send both parts of the selected item through so it would look like this.

test.php?string=php value=4

If you understand and think you can help either email me or reply in this forum.

Thankyou

Tony

HTML by design only sends the value of a selected item. The idea is that since you had to create the web page, you should know the item associated with the values you put on the option.

If you want both, specify them both in the value like:
<font color=blue>
<SELECT NAME="myBox">
<OPTION VALUE="PHP-4">PHP</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</font>

When the form is submitted, you can split value at the dash into the two parts you want.
