List/menu problems

Question

I have a search page with blanks for name, position, etc. To
the right of the blanks is a list/menu that I made as a drop down
box that has suggested search terms. What I would like to do is be
able to copy and paste from the list/menu box into the blanks for
the search portion. Right now when I do that, it pastes a long list
of random letters. Anybody know how I can fix that or maybe use
something other than the list/menu drop down?

Answer 1

I dont think you can copy out of a drop-down, i tried it on
one of mine, use the drop down with the values you want them to
select, this is the code for one i have that is not dynamic (not
from a db), but i would recomend using dynamic values and make
pages to add or edit or delete the values. this is the code for a
non-dynamic list: The user sees "2 Attempts", and input is "2" Put
in a small table to contain form.
<td width="285" height="30"><form id="form2"
name="form2" method="post" action="LOG.asp">
<select name="select2">
<option value="2">2 Attempts</option>
<option value="3">3 Attempts</option>
<option value="4">4 Attempts</option>
<option value="5">5 Attempts</option>
<option value="6">6 Attempts</option>
<option value="7">7 Attempts</option>
<option value="8">8 Attempts</option>
<option value="9">9 Attempts</option>
<option value="10">10 Attempts</option>
<option value="11">11 Attempts</option>
<option value="12">12 Attempts</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit23" value="Edit
&gt;" />
</p>
</form></td>
