Insert a form (INSERT/FORM/FORM) below your dropdown list. Then cut and paste your DRW dropdown list into the form before the submit button. (You can delete the RESET.)

Right click on the form and select Form Properties. Select Send to Other. Click the Options button. In the Action box, enter the file name where you want to send the results. In the Method box, enter POST. The other box can stay blank. Click OK and you should be set.

well ... that's how I created the drop-down-list using the DRW ... this is all working fine .... for e.g. :- the list contains : books,cars,pens etc etc ... now when I select cars from the list and press the submit , how do I extract the value "cars" from the list which I can pass to the DR region on another page that will list all the car names.
I just want to know how to extract the value from the list , or tell me where the value is stored ???

Thankx for your reply
Vijay

The name that is used, is the NAME of the select box

This can be seen by right clicking on or opening the form element.

This is then used in your DRW page

select * from table where column = '::SelectName::'
