I’m sure the solution to this one is simple, but after a long day trying to beat a deadline my head is hurting!

All I want to do is use a drop down list in a form to link to the ‘detail’ page of the article.

So a visitor selects the article they want to read from the drop down list, then presses ‘submit’ and they are taken to the detail template.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to get the url_title to pass through when I submit the form.

<form action="{path=participants/view/}" method="post">
Or select a Participant - See full list
<label for="participant">Participant</label>
<select name="participant" id="participant">
 {exp:channel:entries channel="participants" orderby="title" sort="asc"}
  <option value="{url_title}">{title}</option>
 {/exp:channel:entries}
</select>
<input class="btn" type="submit" value="View" /></p> 
</form>

Have a look at the categiries drop down at http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/categories.html#category-dropdown-menu - you can modify that to use channel entries instead.

Thanks for the reply.

I ideally wanted a submit button so that the visitor is immediately taken away from the page f they make a mistake.

I’ll take a look.

Hello jonparadise2,

Did you get a chance to take a look at Rob’s suggestion?

What do you think?

Cheers,
