problems retrieving values from select list

[cm80]

Hi,
I have a small problem with a select list that I was hoping someone could look at please.

Here is the code I have

<form name=form action=addDB.asp method=post>
<SELECT size=1 name=&quot;category&quot; >
<option value=&quot;accommodation&quot;>Accommodation</option>
<option value=&quot;pubs&quot;>Pubs</option>
<option value=&quot;restaurants&quot;>Restaurants</option>
<option value=&quot;travel&quot;>Travel</option>
</select>
</form>

<%
dim category
category=request.form(&quot;category&quot
response.write category
%>


The asp code is on the same page as the HTML(addDB.asp). Basically what I want to happen is that when the user selects a value from the dropdown list that value is printed on the same page.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time,

you need a submit button:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
