I know this is doable, but I've just looking at the code for far too long I think.

I have this code :


<td>
	<select name="Category">
		<option value="1">Option 1</option>
		<option value="2">Option 2</option>
		<option value="3">Option 3</option>
		<option value="4">Option 4</option>
	</select>
</td>

but whenever I submit the form and query the value like this :


Response.Write "CatID:"  & request.form("Category")

I *always* get 1

, regardless of what option I chose.

What am I doing wrong ?

This should work AFAIK. Do you have another form element mistakenly named 'Category' also?

ARRRGGGHHH!!!! .... far worse than that

No, I didn't have another element with the same name. Instead I had some redundant code that was interfering - Category used to be a textbox, so I had some JavaScript there to ensure a value was entered. Now I7ve converted it to a select, the JavaScript was obviously resetting the value.

Problem fixed now

, thanks D3mon. I was sure I didn't have the same names, but I was double-checking for you when I found the JavaScript ... I knew it was something simple
