   I would love to load the form with different option selection depending from where I open the form. For example:

   berlin.php with link to form.php?id=1&city=berlin ===> form.php: <SELECT><OPTION value="Berlin" selected>

   I know the PHP code, but I am not sure where I have to place the code to get it just in the form (ID) I want it to be.

   Thank you all
   Nils

   Hi,

   What for form.php is ? do you embed machform code to "form.php" ?
   however you need to edit "view-functions.php", Let say you have form with id = '1' and drop down with element id = '2'. For example drop down values are :

   -one
   -two
   -three

   around line 637 you will find :

   $option_markup .= "<option value=\"{$option->id}\" {$selected}>{$option->option}</option>\n";

   try to replace with

   if ((trim($_GET['city']) == $option->option) && ($element->id == '2') &&
   ($_GET['id'] == '1')) {
      $selected = 'selected="selected"';
   }

   Hi redityo!

   Sorry I was a bit imprecise in this point:

   The iframe-form should been loaded with this url (on my opinion?!?):
   /machform/view.php?id=2&element_17=10

   form id=2
   drop-down select id=element_17
   drop-down select value= 10 (for example)

   Because I do not have the variable "city" I changed it to this,
   but without success! The result was that no option were displayed.
   I must be wrong somewhere...

   if ((trim($_GET['element_17']) == $option->option) && ($element->id == 'element_17') && ($_GET['id'] == '2')) {
   	$selected = 'selected="selected"';
   }

   Hope you can help me with that...
   Thank you!

   Hi Nils,

   Try with this one

   if ((trim($_GET['element_17']) == $option->option) &&
   ($element->id == '17') &&
   ($_GET['id'] == '2')) {
   	$selected = 'selected="selected"';
   }

   I see that you wrong put the condition it should $element->id == '17' not $element->id == 'element_17'

   Hi redityo!

   Sorry... no it did not wor here...

   when I open the form (which is actually an iframe of another page) directly like:
   /machform/view.php?id=2&element_17=10

   there are no options available in the drop-down element.

   Something must still be wrong.
   Thank you for your effort and brilliant support.
   Best wishes, Nils

    Hi Nils,

    Sorry for the delays, I think I give you wrong instruction, it's my bad!. it's not to replace but it suppose to add the code.
    However, you want to select the "drop down" field based on "select" ID, let say you have this url :

    http://www.hoeffner.de/machform/embed.php?id=2&element_17=2

    You already see this code around line 637:

    $option_markup .= "<option value=\"{$option->id}\" {$selected}>{$option->option}</option>\n";

    please add these code exactly above that line :

    if ((trim($_GET['element_17']) == $option->id) && ($element->id == '17') && ($_GET['id'] == '2')) {
    	$selected = 'selected="selected"';
    }

    it should select "Berlin-Marzahn" ...
