  Stuff from last week we did not get to
  Second checkbox demo (zipped up files)
  
  
  Demo: Drop-down select
  http://www1.lasalle.edu/~blum/c341wks/Magritte/DropDownSelectDemo.html
  Magritte.zip (drop-down select input, zipped up files)
  
  Demo: Multi-select
  MultiSelectExample.htm
  MultiSelectExample.zip
  
  Passing two pieces of information with one drop-down select
  color_data.zip Conveys two related pieces of information between a form and a handler. It uses parallel arrays in three ways.
  • Passes the (shared) index
  • Passes the name and uses array_search
  • Passes a concatenation and uses explode
  It uses an associative array in a fourth approach. Because the arrays are shared on form and handler (except the explode method), the arrays are placed in a file that is "included" in both form and handler.
