Updating a drop down box

[ksmatthews]

Hi THere,

 

:'(

 

I have an update form that displays all current selections to the user. Displaying text in edit boxes is easy but how do you show a previous selection in a select object ?

 

Here is some code ...

 

<select name = "allow">

<option value="<?php echo $dataset['allow']; ?>" name="value" selected = "selected" ><?php echo $dataset['allow']; ?></option>

<option value='G711ulaw' name='value'>G711ulaw</option>

<option value='G711alaw' name='value'>G711alaw</option>

<option value='ADPCM' name='value'>ADPCM</option>

</select>

 

The first option will retrieve the previous selection BUT it also adds another option (a duplicate) to the drop down box !

 

Assuming that my options are static, how can the matching option be found and displayed to the user ?

 

regards,

 

Steven Matthews
