Multiple occurences of a select box

[Chucklez]

First off, I am a newbie when it comes to html coding, so please be patient with me.

I have a form, and it has 10 occurences of the EXACT SAME select box. Each select box has 30+ elements. I dont like to have my code all cluttered and everything, so I was wondering if there was a way I could include 'call' out to somewhere else to retreive the options for my code. It just seems like it would take alot of room if it was repeated 10 different times.

Any suggestions?

No matter what you do it will appear in the HTML source code 10 times.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

The only way around this would be to use client-side scripting to duplicate one set of options... however, this would fail if the user has scripting disabled, so is not advisable.

Maybe you could re-architect your pages so that such a bandwidth-hungry solution isn't necessary?

Hope this helps,
