Drop Down List In Checkout Pages

[CraftyJoy]

I have created a question in my checkout pages which is compulsory to find out who the customers has found the site. I have used the code which is in ACt_order_02.

In the drop down box the text shows - PLEASE SELECT, I have noticed that the customer can use this as a choice when I really want it to be an instruction! What do I need to to to change this?

BTW how do I insert codes in this thread instead of as an attachment?

Hi Joy

I have noticed that the customer can use this as a choice when I really want it to be an instruction! What do I need to to to change this?

Just to be clear on this, you don't want a dropdown list, but instead a text field so people can type in instructions, is this right? If i am wrong, then please could you provide an example?

BTW how do I insert codes in this thread instead of as an attachment?

Sure to insert html coding, you would use [ html ]....insert code here.....[ /html ]. You can also use [ code ].......insert code......[/ code ]
Please note there should be no spacing on between the brackets, i just did it like that so the forum does not process it as code.

Kind Regards

To Clarify, I want to keep the drop down section box in the chaeckout pages so i can monitor where the customer has found the site.

The question reads

Where did you find our site?

Options In drop down box as in template Act_Order02, with my own advertising source included.

My problem is that the customer use the 'PLEASE SELECT' which is top of the list in the drop down box as an option when in fact it should be an instuction.

I hope I have made myself clearer, thank you for your time

Hi Joy

If you want to rename the 'PLEASE SELECT' then edit your "Act_Order02.html". Here if you search for "PLEASE SELECT" you can rename the prompt to whatever you like.

<input type="TEXT" name="GENERALHOWFOUND" size="40" maxlength="255" value="NETQUOTEVAR:GENERALHOWFOUND">
    </td>
	</tr>

		<TR>
		  <td bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTBG"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">NETQUOTEVAR:GENERALPROMPT000</FONT></TD>
		  <td bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTBG"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
		   <SELECT NAME="GENERALHOWFOUND"> <OPTION SELECTED>Please select:
		   	<OPTION VALUE="Search Engine">Search Engine
		   	<OPTION VALUE="Magazine">Magazine
		   	<OPTION VALUE="Other">Other
			</SELECT>
		  </FONT></TD>
		 </TR>
 	

Just change the following to whatever you like:

<OPTION SELECTED>Please select:

Kind Regards
