How to Handle Variable Number of Items with <select>

[Peter Lauren]

I can make a drop down select list thus.

<select>
<option value="lion">Lion</option>
<option value="tiger">Tiger</option>
<option value="cheetah">Cheetah</option>
<option value="leopard">Leopard</option>
</select>

However it is fixed at 4 specific items. How would I modify the
select block that that I could handle and number of items, with any
number of different names such as from a database.

Many thanks in advance for any help,
Peter.

I believe you can add as many <option> tags as you need.http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/select.html

If you want to populate from a database:http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287765

Thanks very much for your help. I used the database approach and it
works great! Sorry about my tardy reply. I was held up with the
issue of uploading multiple files. I have now resolved that issue.

Thanks again,
Peter.
