Hello!  
I have a problem with data adding form…  
Ok, so when I added fields into MySQL database through phpmyadmin, I made there many fields which are ‘ENUM’ or ‘SET’ and I wrote few options under those fields.  
Now when I have this Html form which can edit old items or add new items into database.  
I would like to get scrollbars for those ‘ENUM’ or ‘SET’ fields, but how?  
I have here a simple html code:

[SIZE=1] \<SELECT NAME=“xxx”\>  
\<OPTION\> 1  
\<OPTION\> 2  
\<OPTION\> 3  
\<OPTION\> 4  
\<OPTION\> 5  
\</SELECT\>

[SIZE=2]The problem is that I don’t know how to get the options from database into \<OPTION\> 1, \<OPTION\> 2 and so on…

I hope that somebody understood what I ment here…  
Thanks!
