Need to set a value as default in form

Quick ammendment

[litmania]

The sign-up form we have for our ezine created automatically by our mailing list programme gives the person an option to pick Text/HTML version. We wish to only have a HTML edition.

Here's the code:

Format: <select name=format><option value=0>Text</option><option value=1>HTML</option></select>

How can we set the default to value=1 and not give the person an option?

Do we add the value to the action command i.e.:

<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/maxemail/join.php"> 

?

Thank you very much for your help :)

The edit above was just to 'anonymise' the domain you gave ;)

To select an option field as default you'd use

<option value=1 selected>HTML</option>

If you wanted to avoid giving the option altogether, remove the whole <select></select> and use a hidden field:

<input type="hidden" name="format" value="HTML">

You don't need to modify the <form> tag.

Sugarkane - I think your editing is a bit harsh ;) - but thanks VERY much for the quick response. Works great :)
