Re: HTML SELECT Lists -- ??? -- SOLVED.

I wrote some code that will grab the selected items and place them at the top of the list, then list below that all unselected items -- it actually works pretty well and is (of course) browser independent. If anyone is curious on how this is done -- I've put some sample code below as an example: <? $states = array('ca'=>'California','nv' =>'Navada','tx'=>'Texas','ri'=>'Rhode Island,'co'=>'Colorado'); $mySelections = 'ca,tx,ri'; $selectedItems = explode(',', $mySelections); /* This 1st FOREACH command builds the list showing only selected items (at the top) */ foreach($states as $key=$value) { if(in_array($key, $selectedItems)) { print('<option value="' . $key . '"' . selected .'>' . $value); print("\n"); } } /* This 2nd FOREACH command builds the list, omitting any SELECTED items */ foreach($states as $key=>$value) { /* If $key is in the array $selectedItems then CONTINUE the loop here (skipping the print commands) */ if(in_array($key, $selectedItems)) continue; print('<option value="' . $key . '">' . $value); print("\n"); } Thanks.
