forms .. selection boxes

I have this code:

<select name="Package">
<option>Package 1</option>
<option>Package 2</option>
<option>Package 3</option>
<option>Package 4</option>
<option>Package 5</option>
<option>Package 6</option>
<option>Custom Package</option>
</select>

HTML:

I've seen on some sites they link to their contact page like .. contact.html?option=1 and like, package 1 will be automatically selected..

Can anyone tell me how? thanks.

 

I think you need to anchor each of the packages. I can't remember how but a search on google may help. Also you will probally find it is contact.php .

I've had no luck so far, anyone know ?

 

You have to make the page dynamic. I personally would use php.

The links to the contact page would be :

<a href="contact.php?package=1" title="Package 1">Package 1</a>
<a href="contact.php?package=2" title="Package 2">Package 2</a>
etc

Then to make the select box select what they have chosen you would:

<select name="Package">
<option <?php if ($package==1) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 1</option>
<option <?php if ($package==2) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 2</option>
<option <?php if ($package==3) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 3</option>
<option <?php if ($package==4) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 4</option>
<option <?php if ($package==5) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 5</option>
<option <?php if ($package==6) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Package 6</option>
<option <?php if ($package==7) {echo ('selected="selected"');} ?>>Custom Package</option>
</select>

I've made an example here :

Hope this helps =)
