Hi there,

Is there an option to define a field as a dropdown menu?

Hmm from the looks of things I have it setup properly but I’m having an issue with a drop down select field.

I have embedded into my freeform tags:

<select name="product[]" style="width: 250px;" id="product" />
<option value="">--Select the Product Category--</option>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="productCategory" style="linear" sort="asc" dynamic="off"}
<option value="">{title}</option>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</select> 

The HTML output source of this template is:

<select name="product[]" style="width: 250px;" id="product" />
<option value="">--Select the Product Category--</option>
<option value="">Napkins</option>
<option value="">Plastic Containers &amp; Drinking Cups</option>
<option value="">Food &amp; Beverages</option>
<option value="">Paper Hot Cups</option>
<option value="">Bags Paper</option>
<option value="">Foam Cups &amp; Lids</option>
<option value="">Wrapped Hot Cups</option>
<option value="">P.E.T. Cups &amp; Lids</option>
<option value="">Tissue Products</option>
</select> 

I have a field in Freeform called ‘product’ and it’s just a text input box.

The form submits fine (not that I have a required on ‘product’ but the ‘product’ field is always empty.

I’m using 2.6.3 - any ideas?

Hahahhaa as soon as the page refreshed and I saw my code I saw it. Brain spasm!

*Runs for Coffee*

I guess I’ll need to put a value in those option fields huh!

My only excuse is that it’s Monday.

Thanks again for the great module.

danethomas,

I’m trying to accomplish the same thing. I just received a reply from Pie Man to embed a template instead (http://www.solspace.com/forums/viewthread/675/). I’m going to give that method a try. Still, I’m confused why your nested weblog inside FF works for you. ?
