Hi to all,

I have spent the night playing with Jot and have managed to get 98% of what I want to work.

I have a problem getting a custom field to work. Looking at the wiki I found an example of how the output in the chunk should be - obviously I dont understand or am too stupid as mine doenst work

I have a "Select" option which applies a CSS class - Dropdown with 2 choices.

My Form code:
```
<label for="title[+jot.id+]">Thumbs: Up or Down? <span class="compulsory">*</span></label>
<select tabindex="[+jot.seed:math=`?+3`+]" name="thumbs" id="thumbs[+jot.id+]" >
  <option value="[+form.field.custom.thumbsup:esc+]" >Thumbs Up</option>
  <option value="[+form.field.custom.thumbsdown:esc+]" >Thumbs Down</option>
</select>
```
My Chunk looks something like this:
```
<li class="commenter [+comment.custom.thumbs+]">
```
Depending on the option selected I expected to get this output:
```
<li class="commenter thumbsup"> or <li class="commenter thumbsdown">
```
Can anyone tell me if im doing this right or wrong - would be appreciated

Am tired and am going to bed - been at this since 22:00 - is no 07:45

So - after reading further and not going to bed I found a solution using a post about adding URL’s laugh

My Form code is now:

<label for="title[+jot.id+]">Thumbs: Up or Down? <span class="compulsory">*</span></label>
<select tabindex="[+jot.seed:math=`?+3`+]" name="thumbs" id="thumbs[+jot.id+]" >
  <option value="thumbsup">Thumbs Up</option>
  <option value="thumbsdown">Thumbs Down</option>
</select>

My Chunk is the same:

<li class="commenter [+comment.custom.thumbs+]">

The snippet call:

[!Jot? &customfields=`thumbs,name,email` &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` &pagination=`10` &css=`0` &captcha=`2` &moderated=`1` &subscribe=`0`!]

Hope this helps others with similar problems
