Question

If I have a combobBox with values red/white/blue and the users chooses blue then I want my form action php page to use the value 2, not `blue. I hope you see what I mean.

Is there any easy way to do that?

Answer 1

<form action='phpPage.php' name='bsForm' method='POST'>
<select name='TheColor' onSelect="bsForm.submit()">
   <option value='0'>red</option>
   <option value='1'>white</option>
   <option value='2'>blue</option>
</select>
</form>

If your form looks anything like that, then your phpPage should easily be able to get the value 2 from $_POST[‘TheColor’]
