I have the following code and am trying to have different values than
what the user clicks on.

print $query->scrolling_list (
-name=>'forsale',
-value=>['No','Yes'],
-size=>2
-multiple=>'false');

Right now when I view my source in the browser it shows as
<SELECT NAME="forsale" SIZE=2 FALSE>
<OPTION VALUE="No">No
<OPTION VALUE="Yes">Yes
</SELECT>

and I need it to be (values below are different)
<SELECT NAME="forsale" SIZE=2 FALSE>
<OPTION VALUE="">No
<OPTION VALUE="s">Yes
</SELECT>

How would I change the print $query-> to allow this.

Thanks,
Chris

Read the CGI documentation about using -labels.

Did you miss the following in perldoc CGI?:


"The optional sixth argument is a pointer to an associative array
containing long user-visible labels for the list items (-labels). If not
provided, the values will be displayed."

I found the answer I was looking for. Thanks.

my %lables = (''=>'No',
's'=>'Yes');

print $query->scrolling_list (
-name=>'for_sale',
-value=>['','s'],
-default=>[''],
-size=>2,
-multiple=>'false',
-labels=>\%lables);
