Hi,
I am using CGI::Application and there is drop down list in my CGI form.
I have to populate another list by getting the value of drop down box.
So I implemented function in javascript for the onchange () event.
<select name="release" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="<tmpl_var name=release>">
                <tmpl_var name=release default='Select Release'></opti
+on>
            <option value="1">1.0</option>
            <option value="2">2.0</option>
            <option value="3">3.0</option>
            <option value="4">4.0</option>
            </select>

Above code submit the form to the server but how can i send the selected option to server and how can I make perl capture that?
so that I can use that value in sql query to populate another list??

Thanks,
tart
