Dear all

Could anyone please help me.  I am pulling infomation from a database, 
basically name and sequnce number but the boxes can only display the name 
and the sequence number can only be passed on and not displayed.  Below is 
what I have so far

At the moment I have got the boxes to display the name and not the number 
but I cant figure out how to pass the number on

eg "David Talbot Rice 544");
ie David Talbot Rice is the name and 544 is the sequence number

Thanks for your time 
Andy

Its probably easy but I am stuck

Heres the script so far


var num_of_cats = 34; // This is the number of categories, including the 
first,blank, category.
//var open_in_newwindow=1; //Set 1 to open links in new window, 0 for no.
var option_array = new Array(num_of_cats);

//The stuff in the array

option_array[0] = new Array("You need to select a category"); // This is 
the first (blank) category. Don't mess with it.
