That's because there is no reason. The double quotes are fine, and are not related to the problem in any way. > Also, you can't use a > -LABELS part.

Either you need to read the docs, or you need to upgrade your CGI module. > Your code should look like this: > > ... > print popup_menu( > -name=>'baths', > -value=>['0', '1', '1 1/2', '2'] > -default=>'1' > ); Only if he dosen't want it to work. Did you actually run this? If you did, you would have seen the warning, since you had the -w flag set. You make the same mistake the original poster did: omitting the comma before "-default". Here's the output I got when I ran that code: <select name="baths" 1> <option value="1073866360">1073866360</option> </select> Hey, everybody makes mistakes. But take the time to actually run the code you post. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
