Hi,
Please look at this picture.

I want each of the login buttons to send whatever is selected in the "School" dropdown box as a variable to the action page, just like I would send data in a textbox.

Currently, this is setup with three forms, one for "Student", one for "Teacher", one for "Admin". I can put the school dropdown box in one of the forms, but then it will only work for that one form. I need one dropdown box that will include its data in each of the forms.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Brett

1st, In the head of your page include the following:

< script language="javascript" >
function setSchool(school) {
document.form1.school.value=school;
document.form2.school.value=school;
document.form3.school.value=school;
}

Note: Set form1, form2, and form3 to the names that you give to each of the three forms.

2nd, in each of the three forms create a hidden field like this:

<input type="hidden" name="school" >

You can change the names of these hidden fields, but you will need to change them accordingly in the script above as well.

3rd, in the select list create an onchange even which will run the function above and populate the hidden fields with the selected values:

< select name="school" onchange="setSchool(this.value);" >
