Re: Form Validation -Dreamvr & PHP

hi, this isnt a dreamweaver specific topic cause its just plain html okay so lets find the bug: a) whats the result when you echo $Option i think you dont get something like <option value="1">firstvalue</option><BR><option value="2">secondvalue</option> .... and so on cause cause you should use: value=\"".$row["cat_id"]."\">".$row["cat_title"]."</option><BR>"; // intead of /n this statement is missing the brackets if ($items > 8) $items = 8; $items--; _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/ viva technologies _/ gstrein andreas "Always listen to the experts; they'll tell you what can't be done and why.

It picks up all the other elements except for #this one. #Here is the code: #while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { # $Option .= "<option #value=\"".$row["cat_id"]."\">".$row["cat_title"]."</option>\n"; # $items++; #} #if ($items > 8) #$items = 8; #$items--; #?> #<select name="cat_id" size="<? echo $items; ?>" multiple> #<? echo $Option; ?> #</select> #Thanks, #pj #pj #Pamela M.
