Submit Form in Navbar

[MrSDavidson]

Is it possible to update a Single-Selection Menu with a save button in the Navbar rather than in User Control Panel > Edit Options.
If so could someone possibly give me some directions as to how to do this?

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a>Member Mood Display:</a>
<form action="profile.php?do=editoptions" method="submit">

<input type="hidden" name="userfield[field5_set]" value="1" />

<select name="userfield[field5]" id="csel_field5">
<option value="0" ></option>
<option value="1" >accomplished</option><option value="2" >aggravated</option> ETC ETC...
</select>

Hello.

Before looking into this code deeper, I noticed something:

in the following code,

<form action="profile.php?do=editoptions" method="submit">

you have method="submit" when it should be either 'post' or 'get'. Granted, I haven't looked into updated HTML changes so if 'submit' is a new option for method, I didn't know...

You would have to send that to a php file that will insert or update that field with the drop down value.

Cheers, anyone be able to give me some pointers as to how to do that in php? unfortunitly its not one of the languages I know.

Another Q, seeing as there is a php file that does this [profile.php] cant I send it directly to it?
