[ic] loop-code, loop-field

[Kirill Sapelkin]

Selection question: OPTION VALUE [loop-code] selects, [loop-field name] doesn't

This is from the simple demo.  The category selection (code below)
seems to look for the first field in the cat.txt file and select it.
Later the simple demo searchs the products file for items belonging to
the category selected from cat.

The problem seems to be that the field selected in cat and searched
for in products does not exist in products.  The "name" field does.
When I change

			<OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]">[loop-data cat name] to:
			
			<OPTION VALUE="[loop-field name]">[loop-data cat name] 

all categories are returned.  Maybe OPTION VALUE is left with the
previously assigned value: ""

I can add the "code" field to products or change the "code" field in cat
to match a field in products to make the search work right but neither
is really satisfactory.  What I would like to do is to make OPTION
VALUE be the "name" and not the "code" field.

Code follows:


			<OPTION VALUE="">All categories
	 
			__TIMED_CATOPT__
			[loop search="fi=cat.txt/ra=yes/un=yes"]
			<OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]">[loop-data cat name] 
			[/loop]
			__END_TIMED__
			</SELECT>

cat.txt follows:
