I have to admit that I seldom use my on-rev acoount and have just been using it to host some mailto form submissions. This has all worked well for me for a basic form submission when the form just has text entry boxes I store the entered data into the rev variable using <?rev put VarName ?>

Like this
<input type="text" name="email" size="50" maxlength="80" value="<? rev put tEmail ?>" />

Now, I am the first to admit, I know only enough about form creation on html and On-rev to be dangerous.

Now, I need to add a new selection field to my form and store that data in tSal

I don't know how to do this.

To create the selection list, I use
<SELECT name="Salution" >
<OPTION selected value="">-- Please Select --</OPTION><OPTION value=Mr>Mr</OPTION><OPTION value=Mrs>Mrs</OPTION><OPTION value=Ms>Ms</OPTION></SELECT>

Where do I put <?rev put tSal ?>

Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer this. I am under the gun to complete this project and can't find any quick reference to solve this for me.


I would think you want to add another choice for the user that is the stored data value.
Caution, what if tSal is empty ??

    (note: HTML ignores CR chars)
<SELECT name="Salution" >
<OPTION selected value="">-- Please Select --</OPTION>
<OPTION value="<?rev put tSal ?>"><?rev put tSal ?></OPTION>
<OPTION value=Mr>Mr</OPTION>
<OPTION value=Mrs>Mrs</OPTION>
<OPTION value=Ms>Ms</OPTION>

</SELECT>

You could add an IF to skip in the case of empty.

if tSal is not empty then put <OPTION value="<?rev put tSal ?>"><?rev put tSal ?></OPTION>

Hope this works for you. At least this should get you close to the correct solution.
(not tested, but it looks OK )
