Dynamic DropDown List Menu to Text

( I don´t think I explained myself well before)

Here is the scenario:

Category Table: cat_id, cat_name

Propertites Table: prop_id, (then comming from category table) cat_id(cat_name)

which is related in the list meny to show up the name from that category.


If I do that , that only gives me a direct text which in this case is a number related to the category table (showing which category name is)

I want the category name comming from the other table to be replaced as a NAME into the page instead the Number. and withoug having to use a list menu to link. I don´t know any other method.

Did I make myself clearer this time. I hope so.

thanks in advance.
