Multiple Select Box

[robfog]

Not really sure what to call this but...

Dates are shown differently around the world such as dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy

I have a select box for each field - day month year.

Fields are B1, B2 and B3

I don't want to create six different fields but rather stickwith three

I'm currently trying this:

fontSize("-1","red","Arial","Date of Birth:*<br>");
echo "<table bgcolor=#66CCFF>";
echo "<TR>";
echo "<TD>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<SELECT NAME=\"B1\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"01\">01</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"02\">02</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "<SELECT NAME=\"B2\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"January\">January</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"February\">February</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<SELECT NAME=\"B3\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"2004\">2004</OPTION></SELECT>";

echo "<TR>";
echo "<TD>";
fontSize("-1","white","Arial","<b>Or</b><br>");

echo "<SELECT NAME=\"B1\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"January\">January</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"February\">February</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<SELECT NAME=\"B2\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"01\">01</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=\"02\">02</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<SELECT NAME=\"B3\" SIZE=\"1\"><OPTION VALUE=\"0\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"2004\">2004</OPTION></SELECT>";
echo "</TD>";
echo "</TR>";
echo "</table>";

However the second selection if left untouched gives a result of 0 in the field.

Any ideas on better way to do this?

Thanks

Well, you're setting the VALUE="0" in the selects, which would return 0 if you left it alone... am I missing something?

If I remove the "0" then I get no item in the field.
It looks simply like they cancel each other out.
