Is there a specific reason you want to use GET ?

It looks like your dropdown is sitting outside of your form. Your selection won't submit that way. You also want to add a name to your select tag.

form action="tst.php" method="GET">
Input Keyword: <input type="text" name="q" style="width:200px;">
                 <select name"state" >
                        <option value="SC">South Carolina</option>
                        <option value="SD">South Dakota</option>
                        <option value="TN">Tennessee</option>
                        <option value="TX">Texas</option>
                         <option value="Alaska Area">Alaska Area</option>
                  </select>
 <input type="submit" value="Search">
          </form>

That should work out a little better for ya.

CF
I get $_GET[Q] = the value of text typed

But i dont get the value of State

Appreciate your advice

I missed the = in the select tag between name and "state." Change it to <select name="state">. Sorry 'bout that. Give it another try, no reason i can see that it shouldn't work.
