@NogDogJul 22.2005 — #You could populate that huge list of dates using a fairly simple script (such as in PHP, Perl, or ASP), though as Prouton points out, it might be easier to just make it a text input field (then validate on the server side processing that the value is numeric and within the desired range). But if you really want a selection list with 105 options, you could do it in PHP for example as:
Two questions about HTML
1. I am creating a form with an age section. I am intent on using a drop down box. Its gonna take me ages to sit and type from 1900 – 2005
<SELECT ….><OPTION>1900<OPTION>1901 —- <OPTION>2005</SELECT>
Is there a method where by i can do an all command where it create a drop down list bewteen two dates?
2. I have more than one screen of data using <INPUT TYPE=”text” or “radio”> etc forms that will be sent to my email via a submit button. Is there a method where by all the screens are able to come to my email in one message?
(like an ADD button that adds all details until SUBMIT button used?)
