<DIV><FONT size=2>Hey. I'm trying to make a dropdown(select) list of
locations in a form, but instead of sending off the location name on submittal,
I'd like to send an associated location ID, since I'm working with a
database. I was wondering if I can set up a form element with a name and
without a type on selection of a given dropdown option. To
elaborate:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Let's say I have a dropdown list of the following
cities:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>New York</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Los Angeles</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Boston</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And each of these cities has associated with it a location ID,
like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>New York - 17</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Los Angeles - 13</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Boston - 6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd like a way to list the cities but send the ID's.
Could I do something within the <option> tag like
onselect="this.form.city_ID=17" for New York? If yes, could
I just do it like that or would I need to declare the form
element city_ID as a hidden variable or something along those lines? If
not, does anyone have any ideas? I hope my javascript idea is
understandable, I'm just turning to this language in order to move along a
project that's primarily in PHP.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
