Drop Down Box Help

Two Questions:

1) Why is the drop down box about 2/3 the size of a normal textbox? This is just annoying but could be a drawing issue.

2) In a drop down box, I would like to display a string and submit a value. For example, there are two options that the user will see in the dropdown:

"Lodge"
"Cabin

If the user selects "Lodge" the form will submit a value of 111 in the form. If the user selects "Cabin" the form will submit a value of 222 in the form.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you have a link to your form we can look at?
You can re-size the drop down so I'm not sure what you mean by it's being 2/3 normal size.

The values you want to submit, are these prices? Or just identifiers?

The more info you can give us, the better we can help you out. :cool:

You'll have to alter the html of the form.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
