......with a value based on a dynamic dropdown?

I have a dropdown that allows you to pick a category for uploading files, and when I select the name, I need to have a hidden field whose value (number) is equal to the corresponding dropdown selection that updates if a new selection is made. I would submit the value as the value for the dropdown but I need both bvalues, the text value (from the dropdown) and the numeric value (which updates in the hidden field).

I have an idea for a way to try it with a jump menu that returns to the same page with a new parameter in the URL, which I can use Request.QueryString("CategoryID" to populate the hidden field.

Anyone think this would work or have any other suggestions?

Thanks

I've never found a way for UD4 to do this automatically. However, open up the code view and goto the VALUE of the hidden field and type this in

<%= RecordsetName.Fields.Item("fldValue".Value %>

Where RecordsetName = the name of the dynamic recordset
Where fldValue = the name of the field you want to populate the hidden field with
