Retrieving Drop down menu value

[Parz]

Hi am facing problem in retrieving the value selected from drop down menu in one page from the next page..Am using the following code to populate the drop down menu with values form the database.

<td width="169" >
<select id="states" name="states" style="display: " >
<%
while not rsstate.eof %>
<option value="<%=rssta te("state")%>"> <%=rsstate("sta te")%></option>
<%rsstate.MoveN ext
wend
rsstate.Close

On submit when i try to retrieve the value using
request(states) ..in the next page
It doesnt give me any value..
Can anybody please help me..

Enter the dropdown list name in doublequotes ""

Also, its a good practise to use Request.Form("s tates") (If you have a form)
