    <p>I have a scenario where a visitor can select a value from a drop-down box, and then choose select one of two submit buttons [that trigger two different form actions and are both in separate elements].</p> <p>The drop-down box is relevant for both submit buttons, however, is only under one of the element.</p> <p>I've tried a write a javascript function that pulls the drop-down value from one form element to the other, but it doesn't seem to work. PLease see my code below, any ideas?</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function grabselection(){ var select_genre = document.getElementById("genre"); var genre = select_genre.value; var genre_cloaked = document.getElementById("genre2"); genre_cloaked.value = genre; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;form class="youtubeupload" action="uploadfinalised.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; &lt;input name="token" type="hidden" value="Alhl"/&gt; &lt;select id="genre2" class="genre" name="genre"&gt;&lt;option value=""&gt;What style is your video?&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;input value="" onclick="grabselection();" type="submit" id="uploadbutton" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;form id="provideurl" class="provideurl" method="post" action="provideurl.php"&gt; &lt;select id="genre" class="genre" name="genre"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;What style is your video?&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option id="genreid_1" value="1"&gt;first genre&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option id="genreid_2" value="2"&gt;second genre&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option id="genreid_3" value="3"&gt;third genre&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option id="genreid_4" value="4"&gt;fourth genre&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am sure there is a simpler solution to this - linking one form element to two different forms, but I'm not sure how to do it - any help greatly appreciated</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
