-----Original Message----- From: shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 10:40 AM To: perlcgi Subject: I'm stuck... -using CGI.pm I've created an "edit" cgi-forms-page to edit values/items in a database. What I want to happen is to have the form fields ( there are several ) populated with the current value that the DB holds for the editing record. Reason being, I don't want the user to have to fill-out everything again, especially when they only want/need to change one value. The below prints out a text box and fills in the default value with the original, why? I dunno, I haven't told CGI.pm what the -default=> is...and yet it puts in the original value. print $output->textfield(-name=>'title'); but.... When I try the below it never has the default selected - yes I know that the below doesn't have -default=> , which I have tried and that doesn't work. Why would the above have the default and the below not. print $output->popup_menu( -name => 'status', -values => %status, -size => 1); Thanks, -Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
