That's almost it. I want to populate the menu automatically from the
database without having to manually modify the HTML. I believe the below
will pull the data but it doesn't modify the menu in HTML. I tried a few
things like using the variable name as the same as the co_name but the menu
always comes up blank unless I put an option name in the list. it doesn't
pass the variable for $co_name in the HTML.
thanks,
boo
