How to post two values in an option field?

Question

I\'d like to post two values in one drop down option and I\'m not sure about the best way to approach it.

The drop down list pulls data in from an external service.

Answer 1

You could make as many hidden inputs as there are options, each with the name of one option value. The input's values are the contents of the options. In the second script, you can look for the dropdown value, and then take the value of the hidden input with that name.
