Dreamweaver MX Menu/List to populate form

[cgustaf]

I use Dreamweaver MX. In a form that gets its data from MySQL I would like to place a Menu/List showing data in a field to be searched in the database. I have the Menu with the search data. But, I do not know how to populate the form when an item in the Menu is clicked. This is what I need help with. In other words, how do I connect the data in the Menu so that the form is populated with the rest of the data for that record in the database?

I can easily do this from a list of items on a separate page, but prefer to do it from a menu in the same form that is to display the entire record.

Please ask if my explanation above is not understandable.

1. You must use a programming language / script to pull the data from the database.
2. Then echo that as (X)HTML to the browser.
3. Example: PHP/MySQL driven menu
