From: JoeyP Date: 2007-04-03T21:55:05+09:00 Subject: CGI question Hello, I am using the CGI class to create a web page. I need a drop down list. I have a formatted string in a DB table for the values. How can I access the variable? cgi.option('value'=>'pathway') { "KEGG/PATHWAY" } + cgi.option('value'=>'brite') { "KEGG/BRITE" } + cgi.option('value'=>'genes') { "KEGG/GENES" } + I'm trying this: cgi.option( myformattedstring) { " some text"}+ The problem is that I cannot use 'myformattedstring' variable. I declare it like this: myformattedstring << " \'value\'=>\'red\' " Any thoughts on how I can get this working? Thanks in advance
