two variables in one SELECT

[ozpo1]

My question is if it possible to save two variables in one select method, and post both of the variables on submit.

Example, if a user will choose Math in the following code, I want the value of category to be posted, but I want to send another variable, let say name="mathb", with it. is it possible to do it with no JS? and if not, how to do it with JS?

<form name="step1" action="http://localhost/Test.asp" method="post">
<b>Choose Category:</b>
<select name="Category" name1="dbcategory">
<option value="Math" value1="Math">Mathl</option>
<option value="English">English</option>
</select>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Next Step"/>

Thanks in Advanced. Oz.

Really, why on earth would you want to do this? Couldn't you just use the same variable twice?

Use a delimiter between the values in value:value="val1,val2" Check server-side for the delimiter to seperate the values.

and just for you know, I want a do it, because this variable is the name of one of my database, and also I want to use it a title. (and the problem is that in mysql names can be only one word. So this way I can't use it as title, or can't use it as table name.

The form will only pass the value in value, any other attributes will not be sassed.
Another solution is to use hidden fields.
