Hey guys!

I’m doing an order form, where the user can input his contact information and then choose a product in a dropdown menu.  
Untill now, I just gave the dynamic text fields a variable and used this code:

```auto

on (release) {
     form.loadVariables(order.php, POST);
}

```

But now that I added a combobox, it has no “varible field” - how do I send the selected parameter in the combobox to the php-file as well?

Thank you!!
