Much like a drop down menu, how do you create an input that has a set of data. I.e. a menu where you can choose your favourite colour:

please select your favourite colour /[LIST]  
[_]blue  
[_]green  
[\*]red  
[/LIST]

that will then send the variable $favcolour=$\_POST[‘favcolour’] to a php script.

I tried a component, but that seemed to be quite obselete as I cannot set vars or values.
