so what was it then the way i set the select up then can you exsplain what was wrong cheers m8.

the code is only for me to understand as a test code to see how it works as meny ask the same question so i was intrested to get it going thank you for the ansaw m8.

ok i get it if you take the <select name=' '> out of the while loop then it only sees it as one select statement but if within the while loop then loops all.

solved cheers.
