Dropdown value?

Webbverkstan

Hi, i´m trying to get the script do take a value from a dropdown list togheter with the uploadfiles but having some problems.

This is my code:


<script type=\"text/javascript\">
function startUpload(id, conditional)
{
	if(conditional.value.length != 0) {
		$('#'+id).fileUploadStart();
	} else
		alert(\"Du måste välja ett album till bilderna\");
}
</script>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">

$(document).ready(function() {
	$(\"#fileUpload\").fileUpload({
		'uploader': 'extra/uploader.swf',
		'cancelImg': 'extra/images/cancel.png',
		'script': 'extra/upload.php',
		'sizeLimit': '2000000',
		'fileDesc': 'Image Files',
		'fileExt': '*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png',
		'multi': true,
		'auto': false,
		'buttonText' : 'Select files',
		'displayData': 'percentage'
		});
		
		$('#albumid').bind('change', function(){
		$('#fileUpload').fileUploadSettings('scriptData','&amp;amp;albumid='+$(this).val());
	});
	
});

</script>


<select name=\"albumid\" id=\"albumid\">
<option value=\"\"></option>
<? 
$getgallery=\"SELECT * FROM galleri_namn ORDER BY id ASC\";
$gallerydata=mysql_query($getgallery) or die(mysql_error()); 

while($rad = mysql_fetch_array($gallerydata))
{
?>
<option value=\"<?=$rad[id];?>\"><?=$rad[namn];?></option>

<? } ?>
</select>
<br/>		
		
		<div id=\"fileUpload\">You have a problem with your javascript</div>
<br/>		
		<a href=\"javascript:startUpload('fileUpload', document.getElementById('albumid'))\">Starta uppladdning</a> |  <a href=\"javascript:$('#fileUpload').fileUploadClearQueue()\">Rensa kö</a>

The files is uploaded with no problem, but i cant get the option value to be posted.
The code in my upload.php is:


$gid=$_POST['albumid'];

BUT if I change from a dropdownlist to a input field like this:

<input name=\"albumid\" id=\"albumid\" type=\"text\" maxlength=\"255\" size=\"50\" />

it works.

How come it not working with the dropdown list?

There could be a couple of things.

1. the bind function should be outside the .fileUpload() but still in the .ready()
2. '&albumid=' should be '&albumid='
3. uploadify currently only uses GET not POST
4. Check your option list is populating correctly. You may be seeing the name in the list, but is the value correct?

Howdy, Stranger!
