in reply to How to keep the state of a drop down select box in perl

I do it the easy way: 
print qq~
<select>
<option>$populate
<option>1
<option>2
<option>3
</select>
~;

so you may end up with a duplicate entry in the HTML: 
<select>
<option>2
<option>1
<option>2
<option>3
</select>

but it works and it's a lot cleaner code on the perl side.

    Hey, that IS easier! I just wish I had clients that would let me do that! :o(

    BTW: Is the option tag valid html if you don't close it?

    Cheers!
