Hi,    I have a snippet as in the following:                   <ul> <li>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/> <div id="start_menu"><form action="" name="form1" method="post"> <span><input type="radio" value="Apartment" name="start" onclick="alert(document.form1.start)"/> Apartment </span> </form></div></li>            </ul>If I tried to put this at the top of a file where I save as PHP with other PHP execution statements, looks like the form does not do anything, and yet when I save the page as in HTML with out the other PHP execution, it works. I am trying to create a page where I have dynamic drop down menu lists so users can egenerate dynamic content based on their preference. Is it possible that I can save the entire file as a PHP and still keep the functionality, including generating dynamic menus, writing the proper entries to the database and printing out the proper output?

Thanks for your help. Alice

Alice: I'm not sure as to what it is that you are asking, but php runs on the server and is done by time anyone looks at a select control. If you want a dynamic select, then there are two basic types: 1) dynamically generated on the server based upon what the user indicted via a previous submit; 2) dynamically generated on the client-side based upon what the user indicted via a javascript trigger. Now, please describe which type you want? Cheers, tedd --

Re the above, I meant indicated and not indicted -- sorry. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
