Hi

The HTML part of this is is just regular HTML :
[ul]
[li]there must be a [tt]form[/tt][/li]
[li]the [tt]form[/tt] must have [tt]action[/tt][/li]
[li]the [tt]form[/tt] must contain the [tt]select[/tt][/li]
[li]the [tt]select[/tt] must have [tt]name[/tt][/li]
[li]the [tt]select[/tt] must contain [tt]option[/tt][/li]
[li]the [tt]option[/tt] must have [tt]value[/tt][/li]
[/ul]
Then you submit the [tt]form[/tt] and the CGI specified in te [tt]action[/tt] will receive the selection made by the visitor as [tt]select_name=selected_option_value[/tt] pair. From this point forward is CGI question for forum452.
