Hi,

Are you talking about Colo's HTML Maker? If so, it will only convert a range of cells into HTML. I'm not sure why you'd need it to convert a drop-down box....

If you just want to display a drop down box in your post you can use a simple piece of HTML code e.g.

<SELECT NAME="MyDropdown">
<OPTION VALUE="1">Item 1</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="2">Item 2</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="3">Item 3</OPTION>
</SELECT>

The code used for this dropdown is:-

<SELECT NAME="MyDropdown">
<OPTION VALUE="1">Item 1</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="2">Item 2</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="3">Item 3</OPTION>
</SELECT>

Re: when converting to HTML: possible to get combobox to wor

it's more of a general question; there is a feature in excel which automatically converts to html. i am designing a website and i'd like to have a feature which does some sort of datavalidation. i'm using a combobox in my offline UI (doesn't convert), data validation doesn't convert, and a simple HTML dropdown tag doesn't interface with the spreadsheet and makes interactive calculation from the user input impossible.

all of my end users do not have excel so i'd like to if all possible do active real time calculation while limiting input.
