Get Value from Dynamic Drop Down List

[JasonHarper]

Hello,

I have an issue I'm not sure how to solve. When my page loads, I'm dynamically generating a drop down list for a set of values. When the page is posted back, I need to capture the selected value. Typically, I would just do a $_REQUEST['dropBox'] but, since this element isn't static, I'm not certain how to get the value on postback.

I would really appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you SO much!

Jason

as long as you know the name of the form field (such as "dropBox") you can know the selected value. is the actual name of the form field dynamic and if so why?

Hello! Thanks for the reply. Yes, the entire form is generated dynamically. Essentially, my code checks to see if a user has access to more than one account. If they do, the drop down box with a submit button is generated so they can navigate between then. If they don't have access to more than one account, then it isn't displayed at all.

I've tried requesting the value from the form field (i.e., 'dropBox') and that isn't working and I can only assume it's because it is dynamically rendered and technically doesn't exist on postback.

then simply use [man]isset[/man] to see if the field exists or not

This doesn't work....it appears to be not set every time.
