[SOLVED] Linking parameters and populating dropdowns without html composer

Does anyone have any experience linking parameters and populating dropdowns without using html composer? I have created some html pages using -HTMLFORM whose functionality simply wouldn't work in html composer and was curious if anyone had any examples of linking up parameters and assigned fexes to iframes etc without using html composer.

Thanks,
Prince

Yes, I figured it would be. I think my best shot is to create all the parameter links,dropdowns and everything in html composer, then edit the code manually to implement all the extra stuff that I want. I have noticed that if you used -HTMLFORM with the code that html composer generates that it works without issue. Hopefully I can get this to work.

I'm glad that you said that. My first thought was Confused Why wouldn't you want to use, or at least start with the html composer ...

Doug, yea I don't know why I didn't think of that first. I created all the parameter links and everything in html composer and then edited the code myself afterwards. It been working like a charm. I just won't be able to open this page in html composer ever again Razzer
