[PHP-DB] Forms question..
Hi all... When I have an input form I must click on the first input field. Is there anyway to have it active when the form loads? #2 When I tab down to the next input field, is there anyway to have it highlight what is in the field (ie the default data) so that it will overwrite it? #3 How can I get the form to submit when I hit the return button? Right now I have to click on the button with my mouse. #4 How can I get a column of numbers to left justify?

Re: [PHP-DB] Forms Question
Hi there,
Take a look at the following snippet below. It is similar to what you're
looking for without having to bugger about duplicating loads of lines for
each store. Just add a new one to the array if required.

Re: [PHP-DB] Forms Question
The solution is easier than you think. You'll need to insert an if
statement in your option html tag that says
echo "Signal Hill\n";
should become:
echo "Signal Hill\n";

If I understand your question...
In order to have your value preset in the drop down list you need
indicate that with
blahblah
What I've been using for this is a hash like this:
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$selected = array();
$selected[$row["store"]] = "selected";
$store=$row["store"];
$jobdesc=$row["jobdesc"];
echo "";
echo "Store:";
echo ""
echo " Signal Hill";
echo " Reseda";
...etc, etc., etc.
something along those lines, anyway. So, if $row["store"] == "Signal
Hill", then $selected["Signal Hill"] will be set to "selected", while
$selected["Reseda"] and all the others will be blank.
This is a very keen thing about php.

Re: [PHP-DB] Forms Question
> Hello,

sure, your query is something like:
select ..., store, jobdesc .. FROM ..
why using:
>$store=$row["store"];
>$jobdesc=$row["jobdesc"];
echo"dhdhdh".$row["store"]."blabla" would also work
i should use:
while (LIST($store,$jobdesc)=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
.

[PHP-DB] Forms Question
Hello,
Here is the code I have:
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$store=$row["store"];
$jobdesc=$row["jobdesc"];
echo "";
echo "Store:
Signal Hill
Reseda
Orange
West Covina
Riverside
Norwalk
Fountain Valley
Pasadena
Redondo Beach
San Bernardino
Kearny Mesa
San Marcos
Chino
Corporate Office
";
echo "";
echo "";
}
Is want I am trying to do possible? I want the value which is stored in
$store to automatically fill in on the drop down list. But, for some
reason it is defaulting to the first option, and not using the value
that is in the database.
Can I use a drop down menu, or should I just go to radio buttons?
Thanks,
Jeff
