For the first thing you can use javascript.

Second one, i couldn't understand completely what you intended to.I think you are tryign to display the databses values in select menu.
That you cna do like this...

<?php
[code]

$sq="select * from table_name";
$qry=mysql_query($sq) or die (mysql_error());

echo "<select name="test">
while($res=mysql_fetch_array($qry))
{
echo "<option value="$res['name']">$res['name']</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

?>
[/code]

If this is what you are looking for , then ok.Else exapnd your description little bit.

Thats what I want thanks. But there was some mistake in that code
[code]
$sq="select * from table_name";
$qry=mysql_query($sq) or die (mysql_error());

echo '<select name="test">';
while($res=mysql_fetch_array($qry))
{
echo "<option value='.$res['name'].'>'.$res['name']'.</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
[/code]
