how are you?

I need your valuable help, I want to copy and paste the value of a textbox to a dropdown when loading the form.

Thank you

HI afgaleano1212,
​
I'm sorry but I don't understand - what exactly do you need to do?

In a field I have the name of the user who logged in to see the form with the following code:
​
[strong]<?php
if ( isset($form->data['name']) && $form->data['name'] ) {
$name = $form->data['name'];[br]} else {[br] $user =& JFactory::getUser();[br] $name = $user->name;[br]}[br]?>[br]<input type='text' readonly='readonly 'name='name' id='name' value='<?php echo $name; ?>' /> [/strong]

[br][br]That value, which is in that "name" field, I want to pass it to another field of type dropdrow called "names"

So..... put it in there then?
​
<select name=''>
<option selected value='<?=$name; ?>'><?=$name;?></option>
</select>

Hi healyhatman

It did not work, enter the code and do not load the form, enter as follows:
​
<?php
if ( isset($form->data['name']) && $form->data['name'] ) {
$name = $form->data['name'];
} else {
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$name = $user->name;
}
?>

<input type='text' readonly='readonly 'name='name' id='name' value='<?php echo $name; ?>' />

<select name="">
<option selected value='<?=$names;?>'><?=$name;?</option>
</select>

You put $names in there did you realise
