Hello! forms select option returning the value???

[liunx]

Hi im Tall Paul,<br />
I have a problem well more of a question. When using Forms and a drop dowN menu <br />
FORM<br />
SELECT<br />
OPTION......../OPTION<br />
OPTION......../OPTION<br />
OPTION......../OPTION<br />
/SELECT<br />
/FORM<br />
<br />
Once an option has been chosen. How do i get the value in between the OPTION brackets. I know the FORM returns the value but i dont know how to get the value<br />
<br />
I want to be able to pass it to an applet usin PARAM. I just want to get the value from the form<br />
<br />
By the way im using a servlet to generate the web page. So i can store the value in a variable.<br />
<br />
Anyone got any ideas? Did i explain myself enough?<br />
TallPaul<!--content-->hi, welcome to this forum!<br />
<br />
I haven't used <option> tag for a long time, but I remember you can set the value of option bracket by using this<br />
<br />
<option value="whatever">Menu</option><br />
<br />
"value" control this option, so it returns "value" when it's selected<br />
<br />
hope this helps!<!--content-->
