hidden fields in select

[nadskram]

i am actually doing this with asp
but i think its a weird html thing

i am looping through a recordset and adding options in a select box
as i add an option i want to also add a hidden form field so i can keep track of whos in my original select list
but when i add the hidden INSIDE the select, in between options, the html output gets all screwy

so i ended up writing my options, then moving first on the recordset and re-looping through the data to write the hidden values

i thought hidden form fields could go ANYWHERE
but i guess not in select/options

while you are looping instead of writing out the hidden fields in the select list (which is invalid html) why dont you just build a string with the hidden fields in then once you have written out all the options and written out the </select> tag then response.write your hidden fields string. I think this would be the easiest solution as there is very little to change

on error goto hell
