Hello Tim, There are several different ways to do this. One way is to use the popup_menu() method provieded in the CGI.pm module to generate the HTML for a pull down menu. See http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib/CGI.html#CREATING-A- POPUP-MENU for more info. Another way is to simply put the default option as the first one in the list. This way you don't need to parse the list of options to have one selected. -spencer christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
