HTML Input objects

[brent123]

Is the input tag the only way to get info from a user on a web form? I'm trying to get info from a user on a web form using a drop down box, but I can't seems to do anything with the info they select. When the user submits the form I would like to be able to store the information into a C# variable. I keep getting compile errors saying "CS0103: The name 'comments' does not exist in the current context" where comments is the name of the drop down list. Any thoughts?

You should probably ask this in the C# or .Net forum - it sounds like a server-side error, not a client-side one.

Hope this helps,

It seems to me that something like this should work:

[tt]<select name="coments">
<option value="test">test one</option>
<option value="test2">test two</option>
</select>[/tt]

And make sure your select element is inside a form element, since only those inside the form will be passed. Add [tt]method="get"[/tt] in the form for an easy debug process -- this will show all the variables and values passed in the address bar.
