Hi! Does anyone happen to be gifted in HTML? I'm stuck on something stupid while setting up my page to send data to my "shopping cart". The cart needs a few simple inputs like price, product, id, etc. What I want to do is have a list of material types and have the cost associated with them. For example, a cotton shirt being $12 and a poly shirt being $17. Is there a way to take a basic dropdown and have it send two separate values?

Basic example of what I'm thinking:
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="product" VALUE="x">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="price" VALUE="cost []">

<SELECT name="size []">
<OPTION value="S" > Small </OPTION>
<OPTION value="M" SELECTED > Medium </OPTION>
<OPTION value="L"> Large </OPTION>
<OPTION value="XL"> XL </OPTION>
<OPTION value="XXL"> XXL </OPTION>
</SELECT>

<SELECT name="cost []">
<OPTION value="12.00" > $12.00 - 100% Cotton </OPTION>
<OPTION value="17.00" SELECTED > $17.00 - 100% Polyester </OPTION>
<OPTION value="13.50"> $13.50 - 50/50 Poly/Cotton Blend </OPTION>
<OPTION value="15.00"> $15.00 - 65/35 Poly/Cotton Blend </OPTION>
</SELECT>

I see this passing the numerical value of the "cost" and sending it as the "price" which will then be calculated by my cart software. Now if that works, how can I pull a second value out of the same select statement to give me a "material" or "type" value of "100% cotton" for example. That way when a receipt is e-mailed, it says 'you ordered 1 quantity of the "x" shirt in medium in 100% cotton for a cost of $12'. Then have the subtotal, shipping, and total, etc.

If I'm unclear about what I'm asking, just let me know. Keep in mind that this is all example data.

Nevermind, I just set it up differently. I didn't realize I could have more than 1 variable for each product in the same cart addition.

Example of the style I'll end up with:

<INPUT type="Hidden" name="price1" value="12.00">
<INPUT type="Hidden" name="price2" value="17.00">
<INPUT type="Hidden" name="price3" value="13.50">
<INPUT type="Hidden" name="price4" value="15.00">

<td width="162" valign=top align="right">
<select name="product1" size="1">
<option value="Small - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Cotton">Small
<option value="Medium - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Cotton">Medium
<option value="Large - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Cotton">Large
<option value="XL - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Cotton">XL
<option value="XXL - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Cotton">XXL
</select>

<select name="product2" size="1">
<option value="Small - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Polyester">Small
<option value="Medium - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Polyester">Medium
<option value="Large - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Polyester">Large
<option value="XL - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Polyester">XL
<option value="XXL - Badge T-Shirt, 100% Polyester">XXL
</select>

<select name="product3" size="1">
<option value="Small - Badge T-Shirt, 50/50 Poly/Cotton">Small
<option value="Medium - Badge T-Shirt, 50/50 Poly/Cotton">Medium
<option value="Large - Badge T-Shirt, 50/50 Poly/Cotton">Large
<option value="XL - Badge T-Shirt, 50/50 Poly/Cotton">XL
<option value="XXL - Badge T-Shirt, 50/50 Poly/Cotton">XXL
</select>

<select name="product4" size="1">
<option value="Small - Badge T-Shirt, 65/35 Poly/Cotton">Small
<option value="Medium - Badge T-Shirt, 65/35 Poly/Cotton">Medium
<option value="Large - Badge T-Shirt, 65/35 Poly/Cotton">Large
<option value="XL - Badge T-Shirt, 65/35 Poly/Cotton">XL
<option value="XXL - Badge T-Shirt, 65/35 Poly/Cotton">XXL
</select>

A little more programming, but it works as I'd like it to on the receipt.
