RE: [newbie] drop down boxes

Hiya, I have created a dynamic table within my form. Above the table I want to insert a filter to order by:<the column names> Here is the static list: <select name="select4">

           <option>Severity</option>
           <option>Crash</option>
           <option>Major</option>
           <option>Minor</option>
           <option>Review</option>
         </select>

What I need suggestions on is: 1. recommended tutorials on lists and logic behind them. 2. How does the selected item in the list get stored (a variable?)and how can I place that in such a way to ORDER BY <$filter_selected> 3. also simple snippets of code always is appreciated (No one wants to reinvent the wheel) :) Thanx Bob _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
