Hey,

I have some drop down boxes in my form but when emailed they are emailed as 1,2 ,3 not the value of the select.

How do we change this?

Thanks

Hi k0r54,

Just to expand Max's answer you need to add useful values to your option tags. If you don't set any:

<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
...

Then you will get 1,2,3,...
So put values like

<option value="First option" >Option 1</option>
<option value="Second option" >Option 2</option>
...

and you will get First option, Second option, . . .

But please don't use over-complex values with punctuation in them as this can cause hiccups in recovering and storing data.
