I am using a drop down box in a form, the method is GET. The data that  
i am not selecting in the box is not getting stored in the database.  
But when i am not using the drop down box the rest of the data is  
getting stored. I stored the submitted form data in an instance  
variable. When i am trying to print the instance variable no output is  
coming… Can anybody help?
