We have the Brand/Year/Model modification installed and would like to pre-populate a drop down for onf of the new fields it created, "type".

We currently have this in the code:

PHP Code:

{if $productids ne ''}<TD width="15" class="TableSubHead"><INPUT type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[type]"></TD>{/if}
  <td class="FormButton" nowrap>{$lng.lbl_type}</td>
  <td class="ProductDetails"> 
    <input type="text" name="type" size="45" value="{ $product.type}"> 


How would we change it to a <SELECT statement?

It list doesn't have to be database driven, we only have three types, (Gas, Electric, Common)

I know how to do a regular HTML form <Select ... statement, but I'm not sure how/where to code the database name and field to insert the data selected?

PHP Code:

<select name="type">
        <option value="Gas" {if $product.type eq "Gas"}selected{/if}>Gas</option>
        <option value="Electric" {if $product.type eq "Electric"}selected{/if}>Electric</option>
        <option value="Common" {if $product.type eq "Common"}selected{/if}>Common</option>
 </select>
