HTML: How to pass 2 values in a form & clear input box on selection

[Vini]

Anyone know how I can pass two values when submitting an HTML form...

My edited code is

print "<form method=\"get\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">
    <input class=\"box\" name=\"address\" size=\"20\" value=\"$address\">";
    if (count($groups) > 1) print "<option value=\"modify\">".$CCMAIL_LANG['modify']."</option>";
    print "</select><input type=\"submit\" value=\"".$CCMAIL_LANG['go']."\" class=\"button\">"; 

whilst the original is

    print "<form method=\"get\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\"><b>" . $CCMAIL_LANG['insert_addr'] ."</b>
    <font color=\"red\"><b>$error_message</b></font><br><br>
    <input name=\"address\" size=\"20\" value=\"$address\" class=\"tbox_max\"><select name=\"action\" class=\"tbox\">
    <option value=\"subscribe\" selected>".$CCMAIL_LANG['subscribe']."</option>
    <option value=\"unsubscribe\">".$CCMAIL_LANG['unsubscribe']."</option>";
    if (count($groups) > 1) print "<option value=\"modify\">".$CCMAIL_LANG['modify']."</option>";
    print "</select><input type=\"submit\" value=\"".$CCMAIL_LANG['go']."\" class=\"button\"><br><br>"; 

basically I've just removed the drop down, with options 'Subscribe' and 'Unsubscribe'... I just want the user to be forced to subscribe if they enter their details, how can I pass the value 'subscribe' in my edited form?


Also, any idea how to clear the box of its contents when it is selected? Is this a java snippet?

you could add in a hidden form...like this:

<input type="hidden" name="Subscribe" value="Subscribe" />

and that value should be passed.

You should also fix your html code...your missing closing '/'s all over the place...remember to close your input tags with a />

as for clearing the contents I think thats a javascript snippet...not sure

Yes it's JavaScript, not Java. Remember, Java != JavaScript.

To clear an input box when it's selected use something like:

  <input id="testbox" value="default" onFocus="document.getElementById('testbox').value = '';"> 

Remember that this will clear it each you select it. If you want it only to be cleared the first time it's selected, use:

<input id="testbox" value="default" onFocus="if (document.getElementById('testbox').value == 'default') {document.getElementById('testbox').value = '';}">
