NO ! DONT JUMP ! FOR GOD'S SAKE !!! If I get you right, you want what
windoze call a "list box" right ? So, instead of:

<input name="my_db_object" width=30 value="">

you will use:

<select name="my_db_object" size="1">
    <option selected value="01">01</option>
    <option value="02">02</option>
    <option value="03">03</option>
    <option value="04">04</option>
...etc.
    </select>

...life is sooo simple :-)
