Drop Down Menus

[robwebb]

I am currenly making an internet based ordering system which a user registers from a web browser. when a new user has registered i want there name to be added onto a dropdown menu automatically on the main ordering page. so when a user wants to place an order they select there name from a drop down menu in the web browser. i am using the following code to display a drop down menu but don't know how to get the selections of the menu from my file maker pro database

<P><B>Group</B><BR>

&nbsp;<SELECT NAME="Group">

<OPTION VALUE="" SELECTED>Select Group

<OPTION>Ashburner

<OPTION>Crowther

<OPTION>Glover

<OPTION>Gubb

<OPTION>Hidalgo

<OPTION>Hodgkinson

<OPTION>Martinez-Arias

<OPTION>O'Kane

<OPTION>Robinson

<OPTION>Russell

<OPTION>Sanson

</SELECT>

this is the code im using for the users group but i want to be able to get the selections from the database rather than having to enter the selections from the html code.

You can create a ValueList with the names field in FMP. Then you can use [FMP-ValueList], [FMP-ValueListItem] and [FMP-ValueListChecked]. The "CDML Reference" database has a good explanation on how to use these.

All the best.
