HTML form dropdown

[adityadubey]

Hi! I am trying to create 3 dropdown menus (day, month and year) for date. I have created one for day and one for month by typing each option, now I want to put the options from 1940 to 2005 in the "year" dropdown. Is there a better or easier way?

Could use JavaScript to output all the options for those years - but it would be better to do that with some server side script. Otherwise... type away.

You can use almost any language to do this for you but here is an example with php.


<select name="year" size="1">

<?php

for ($i=1940;$i<=2005;$i++){
echo '<option>'.$i.'</option>';
}

?>

</select>
