You'll have to submit the data. Just that instead of pushing "go", you can get JavaScript to do that. For instance,
<form name="myForm1" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF?>"> <select name="country" onChange="document.myForm1.submit()"> <option value="Albania"> <option value="Andorra"> </select> </form> <form name="myForm2" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF?>"> <select name="country" onChange="document.myForm2.submit()"> <option value="Albania"> <option value="Andorra"> </select> </form> <form name="FinalForm" action="final_URL"> <select name="country"> <option value="Albania"> <option value="Andorra"> </select> <input type="submit"> </form> You'll then have to check whether you have any field empty and, if so, echo the same form again, with the empty element populated. The final form actually contains the button which gets to the final page. Alternatively you could use a single form, but then you'll have both pieces of code (echoing the form and echoing the final page) in the same PHP - easily solvable with include() for clean coding.
