Gary,<br />
<br />
So to get &quot;&quot;, I have to say &lt;option value=&quot;&quot;&gt;--&lt;/option&gt;?<br />
<br />
Thanks

One more thing. If I am doing Javascript edits IN the html page with the form, is the javascript value of the form element &quot;&quot;&nbsp;or &quot;--&quot;?<br />
<br />
Thanks
</div>


<div>
Can be either.<br />
With javascript to get the displayed value you use<br />
.options[e.selectedIndex].<wbr />text<br />
<br />
And to get the option value you use<br />
.options[e.selectedIndex].<wbr />value
</div>


<div>
So the value, if unspecified, would be null?
</div>

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
If you have an HTML select element and an option like &lt;option&gt;--&lt;/option&gt; and that is the default one selected, in the php processing program, does it pass &quot;Null&quot; as the value?<br />
<br />
That is, is $_REQUEST['select name'] == &nbsp;&quot;&quot; ?<br />
<br />
Thanks
