When I put in this code in my format file:

<select name="Equipment1" size="1">

[FMP-option: equipment]</select>

After it is processed, all that is left is:

<select name="Equipment1" size="1">

</select>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Anita

You have written:

<select name="Equipment1" size="1"> [FMP-option: equipment]</select>

Have you tried:

<select name="Equipment1" value="[FMP-option: equipment]" size="1"></select>

or:

<select name="Equipment1" value="[FMP-option: equipment]" size="1">[FMP-option: equipment]</select>

I haven't. But I hope this helps.

Peace

I'm not too sure what I did...but I deleted it and typed it in again and it seems to work fine now! Computers...*sigh*.

Thanks for your help though!

Actually, I now have another question, how would I add a "other" field onto the select menu so that users can manually add in their own choices?

Thanks,

Anita

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but you could try this:

code:

---

<select name="Equipment1" size="1">

[FMP-option: equipment]

<option>Other

</select>

---

I believe you would need create a new field in your database to hold this "Other" manually entered value since you can't input values into a <select>.

code:

---

<input type="text" name="Other" value="">
