select box

[jak]

Hi

is it possible to give an option in a select box 2 values?

<select name="transation">
<option value="value1">car</option>
</select>

I have a java, that on submit it outputs someting in an input box based on value1, and I want to output something else in another imput box based on another value of the same option...

is it possible to store 2 values to the same option?

No.

But what you can do is use the value ("value1") to decipher what to do with it. Like:

if (formboxvaluevariable == "value1")
{ 
 //DO STUFF HERE
}

and in that DO STUFF HERE area, just have the code affect multiple entry boxes.
