Hi Guys,

 

I have a value list with a possible 300 + values (professions) - I reckon this would be too big for a drop down, but I have no idea how else to display it. Does anyone have an idea ? An alphabet bar seems so old fashioned nowadays (not my comment)

 

I will be using php for the web site to speak to a database.

 

Any ideas / comments / clips around the ear for my stupidity greatly appreciated !

Well, can you split them into groups? When you say professions i assume you mean, IT, LAW etc... So can you have drop-down 1 with a class of professions, and drop down 2 with the sub-classes... if that makes sense...

 

alternatively, you can use a listbox rather than a dropdown stating size in the select: <select size='10'>

 

cheers,

tdw
