<select name='work_experience_factor' size='1'>
<option>SELECT</option>
<option value="2">Accountants:Experience - year 1</option>

This displays the value that gets passed to my processing page when someone chooses an option, in this case 2.
The part that is between each set of option tags is just what the user sees when they're selecting...it doesn't go any further along.
This is what i'm using to pass the values thru the .asp(s)
and into the db:
<%
For Each thing In Request.Form
Response.Write "<input type=""hidden"" name=""" & thing & """ value=""" & Request.Form(thing) & """>" & vbCrLf
Next
%>

There must be a way to pass the part the user sees as well so i can do:
If work_experience_factor = "Accountants:Experience - year 4+" Then
do something...
End If
So i put into calculations the same option twice.

Does anyone know, may the language to do it, the script to do it? even links to info about it?
Keep in mind i'm using fp>asp>access dnsless, yes i know i'm limiting myself. I know it can be done if i restructure, but to me forward is the way to go!
