Put an if check around your QT placeholder code: if (isset($_POST['nameOfYourSelectBox'])) { // placeholder code } Set your embed src-tag to: src="../../../mov/<?= $_POST['nameOfYourSelectBox']; ?>" So if you submit your select box the selected movie should be shown. Maybe you can omit the width and height attributes. Regards, Torsten
