how do you collect data from a drop down menu?
like for textfield there is a textfield name but for dropdown its only a option value..

<option value="Jan">January</option>

<input type="text" name="stock" />

If you look in the tutorial section on the option element you'll find that option elements are useful when made children of select elements. The select element is named (i.e. has a name attribute) and will be used as any other form element to collect data.
Code: <select name='month'>
<option value="0">January</option>
<option value="1">February</option>
...
</select>
