Hi,
I am not sure what a combobox is.
Is this pure HTML or an applet.
If you are using HTML menu (<select>)
than you can do:
<select name="station">
<option value="1">New York station </option>
<option value="2">Los Angeles station </option>
...
</option>
Now if you get the parameter "station" will contain
stnid not the name.
Waiting for reply.
Best wishes,
Andras.
