select box

[webgod]

I need to make a field in a admin form to be a drop down select box.

I have the field right now as:

<input type="text" name="Menu_cat" value="<?php echo $Menu_cat;?>"></TD></TR>

The problem remains in keeping the state of the select box. This is important for updating records.

when you say keep the state, are you referring to a page that is resubmitted to itself and needs to retain the current selection in the select box?

Well a drop down goes something more like this:

<select name="menu_cat" id="menu_cat">
<option value="1" selected><?php echo $var1;?></option>
<option value="2"><?php echo $var2;?></option>
</select>

I don't know where or how your getting the info for the drop down so i can't really give you anymore than that.
