[thelist] Send hidden data from a form

[Santilal Parbhu]

Thanks Anthony,

You were not missing anything, I was.  Your reply solved the problem for me
- I was looking for something complicated, when the simple answer was in
front of me.  I had constructed my Option tags differently - I was using the
same data for both the name and the value, as previously I had no reason for
doing otherwise.  When I did need to have different values, I just couldn't
see the answer.  Thank you very much.

How are you constructing your Option Tags?

It should be as simple as:

[option value="123"] Red Sox [/option]

Or am I missing something?
