Inserting drop down field instead of text field

[ddh]

I attempted to replace:

<tr><td class="fieldarea">{$LANG.clientareastate}</td><td><input type="text" name="city" size="30" value="{$clientstate}" /> *</td></tr>

 

with:

<td class="fieldarea">{$LANG.clientareastate}</td><select name="{$clientstate}"><td><option value="" selected></option><option value="Australian_Capital_Territory">Australian Capital Territory</option><option value="New_South_Wales">New South Wales</option><option value="Northern_Territory">Northern Territory</option><option value="Queensland">Queensland</option><option value="South_Australia">South Australia</option><option value="Tasmania">Tasmania</option><option value="Victoria">Victoria</option><option value="Western_Australia">Western Australia</option><option value="Other_(Outside Australia)">Other (Outside Australia)</option></select> *</td></tr>

 

In the hope that it would allow the user to select their state. However, no drop down box was shown. Any suggestions? Also, does anyone have a linked drop down, so that if someone selects say Australia, it drops down the States for Australia, etc...

Well, just from glancing at your html , the obvious changes to make would be to correct the field name and put it *after* the open of the column tag, not between the column tags

 

<select name=city>
