I'm trying to populate select boxes(or other input types)for my HTML pages. An example would be a drop down list of states and/or provinces. A large number of these are populated from lookup tables in the dba and are relatively static.
I understand there is no form data at that time, however, when the server is up and running (and I am accessing it as a client) is when I am having the problem of extracting the data.
