 Thanks for your reply.
I understand the unique id part and added an id field to my xml
document used with the select box. Now how can I create unique id's,
for's, and name's that can later be accessed in some organized way by
a server side script. For example I would like to be able to determine
the value of the select box for the row of the Go button that was
clicked.
I've created a more specific example to use, I'm just looking for a
more generic way of doing it. I was thinking this could be done by
just calling a generic repeat template but I am not sure where to
start.
Desired output:
