Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to select list populated from db and form templates

Adam,

The value of the form element will be passed to the page specified int he forms ACTION attribute. You need to specify the variables you want to use in ad_page_contract in the target page.

The variable name is the same as the name of the form element you created. So your taget page would look like this:

ad_page_contract {
     desription of my page
} {
     person_names
     other_var_name
     ...
}
After ad_page_contract person_names would be set to the value of the item that was selected.
