Hi There,
At the moment I have the script below and a seperate page, but would like to include it into my main page. The problem I have is when you select a value from the dropdown, the page submits to the value set in the main pages for value. Please can some one tell what I need to change inorder to have the script not submit the value that the main forms action is set to. Is there a way that I can set a different value for the action of the script and then add an if statemnt to the main form?
