Select Box Issue

[The Wizard]

Hello:

I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping someone will find the flaw in the code below. I am trying to get the function getCatList() to work with the rest of the code, but no joy.

If it helps the function getCatList() is a select box and it does show up. The other part of the code displays images and data and that works too. The pagination works as well. The problem is when I choose a item form the select box the system goes through the motions correctly, but I still see all the images and data and not what I choose from the select box.

Thanks

Wiz

First off, your question is incomplete.  How are we supposed to help you if we don't see what is happening in the HTML part of the code (template) with these $context variables.  2nd, Looks like you are using a mod, perhaps you can ask over in the Mod support topic?  Or tell us the name of the mod with a link to where it can be found.  Or am I wrong in assuming that this is not your own mod?  3rd - How can a function in PHP be a select box without any HTML behind it?  4th - Why are you putting functions inside of functions?  There is nothing wrong with it, but it just makes it harder to read and understand.
