Simple problem passing variables with forms

[damann]

I have this simple problem where I have a dynamic list menu and when a user selects a value from the list menu the "id" of that value is passed on to another page where the all the field values of that "id" is displayed unto the page.

Here is the form from page 1 where the user is asked to select a value from the list menu:

<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;EditEvents.asp?ID=<%=objRS.Fields(&quot;ID&quot%>&quot;>


Now if you look at the action of that form, you'll see where my problem is. When the page is loaded it gets the value of the initially selected value and passes it on all the time. So on page 2 I always get the same value being passed on. How do I fix this, so that the value the user selected is passed on and not the initially selected value? The only way I see is if I call page one again and then redirect to the second page where the selected value will then be passes on, but there has got to be a simplier way of doing this. Please let me know...

Name your listbox &quot;ID&quot; and everything should work.

<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;EditEvents.asp?&quot;>
<select name=&quot;ID&quot;>
  <% blah, blah, fill in listbox contents %>
</select>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

Now the item &quot;ID&quot; will be available in the Request object.
