Re: [Htmlparser-user] Button Links

[Cliff H. <cli...@gm...>]

After looking closer at the the code, it seems as though there is a "select"
menu in the POST that I cannot figure out how to set.  The HTML for it is

<select name="world">
<option></option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">World 1</option></select>



I can't find any info in the how to use POST on how to submit the
information.  It also seems to me as though the default is to have "World 1"
selected, and so I don't understand why it has to have it sent in again.

Thank you for your help
