Taglister - output tags as a dropdown?

Hi, I've gotten myself into a muddle trying to output my taglister tags as a dropdown menu.

<div id="tags">

<form name="myform" action="[[~20]]" method="POST">
 <select name="tagdropdown">

[[!tagLister? &tv=`product_category` &target=`20` &tpl=`tagLister`]]
</select>
<div class="form-buttons"><input type="submit" value="submit" /></div>

</form>

</div>

Here's the tagLister Tpl

<option value="[[~[[+target]]? &[[+tagVar]]=`[[+tag]]`]]">
[[+tag]] 
</option>

Here is the code on my tag landing page:

[[!getResourcesTag? &parents=`21,26,29,33,39` &tpl=`product_list` &tagKey=`product_category` &showHidden=`1`  &sortbyTV=`product_price` &sortbyTVType=`integer`  &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tvPrefix=``]]

The dropdown is showing just fine, but when I select a tag and click go, it take me to the tag landing page, but it just lists everything, instead of only showing me the tag I select as it did earlier before I changed the tags from links to a dropdown.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there, don't know if you ever solved this, but for others who are looking for the same thing, this is how I solved it:

- make the form method GET instead of POST
- for each option, just set the tag as value, like this:
```
<option value="[[+tag]]">
[[+tag]]
</option>
```
The requestparam will be the name of the select, so in your case it would be 'tagdropdown'.
(landingpage.com?tagdropdown=tagvalue).
