Bluwulf, heres my two cents:
Try closing the table you have in the cell...in other words create a table for each 'declaration'.
Contrary...Very Contrary!
This is what i mean -
Code:<form> <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td> DECLARATION FOR DROP DOWN MENU 1 </td> </tr> </Table> <Table> <tr> <td> DECLARATION FOR DROP DOWN MENU 2 </td> </tr> </Table> </Tr> </Table> </Form>
Contrary...Very Contrary!
oh, put in the missingat the endCode:</Td>
any objections Arch Angel??
Contrary...Very Contrary!

Well there is the code :confused:
This is the code I use for my drop down menu (well one of my drop down menus)
Code:/* The argument "$node_to_preselect" indicates what node is to be preselected in the drop down menu when the menu is built */ select_node_drop_down_menu($node_to_preselect) { //Pulls the list of nodes from the DB and dynamically generates the "Node" drop-down menu if (db_connect()) { $sqlquery_nodes ="SELECT node_name FROM nodes ORDER BY node_name"; $result_nodes = mysql_query($sqlquery_nodes); //DROP DOWN MENU FOR NODE echo "<select name=\"node_selected\">"; echo "<option value=\"blank_node_selected\">--------- SELECT NODE ----------</option>"; while($table_row_nodes = mysql_fetch_array($result_nodes)) { if ($node_to_preselect == $table_row_nodes["node_name"]) { echo'<option value="'.$table_row_nodes["node_name"].'" selected="'.$node_to_preselect.'">'.$table_row_nodes["node_name"].'</option>'; $node_to_preselect = ""; } else { echo'<option value="'.$table_row_nodes["node_name"].'">'.$table_row_nodes["node_name"].'</option>'; } } echo"</select>"; } else { ?> <script> alert("ERROR : CANNOT CONNECT TO DATABASE"); </script> <? exit; } }
Yes I kno the code aint as "tight" as it can be...I'm currently in the process of getting rid of unneccessary tags (like acronym) and better implementing the use of CSS. But right now thats the least of my problems....my MAJOR problem is capturing the data from the dropdown menus.

Bluwulf, sorry if I wasn't clearer before. I meant the actual html output after your php page has been parsed. I just want to see how your html code actually is. And then use it to provide the code you need to accomplish what I suggested.
