passing html form variables to search.php using a drop down list
 

I'm currently using a drop down menu to gather some data from xcart to display, but when I submit using an html form to search.php, it's not passing the select options.

You can see it in action here, the two different drop downs; http://5dollarinkcartridges.com.au/newsite/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=3

Try it, and you will see all it does is load search.php without passing a search string.

Is there a certain hidden input variable, or something that I need to do specifically to make this work?

What do I need to do? I'm beating my brains over this! Please advise!

ha. all i needed to do was use the form GET command, and it works fine.

Also, you need to use the hidden tag for extra fields, if you are trying to search for that. ;)
