Thanks for the reply.
I really am not sure what the real problem is here.
Orginally I created a single html form which had the embed perl in it. the
logic was such
that the user would select a button on the screen and the related div tag
would then display. the
user then would make a selection and select the next page button. the next
page button called a
java script which then in turned called the document.form.submit(). the
forms action was blank so that
the form would submit to itself. the intent was then i would pull off the
values from the just completed
form and use some of the values to look up data in other tables. for some
reason the value of the select
is always the first choice, unless of course I save the selected value to a
hidden field.
now, i changed my approach to this whole thing and created individual pages
and guess what, the perl
code now sees the selected value using fdat.
if you do not mind, I am going to send you a copy of the code that I am
using, maybe you can take a look at
it and determine what I am doing work with. otherwise I think I will go
with the new design (users won't know).

I've been using Embperl and selects a lot with no problems.
You have to split the $fdat value this way:
@selected_values = split /\t/, $fdat{cmbClientKey};
I don't know if this is the point on your question...
