If you want the user to be able to choose one list at a time, a simple HTML "SELECT" box could allow the user to set the "list" variable:

Code: [Select]

<select name=list>
<option value=1>List 1
<option value=2>List 2
</select>
For multiple list subscription, you can set the "lists" variable to contain an array of values, ie:

Code: [Select]

<input type=hidden name=lists[] value=1><!-- global list -->
<input type=checkbox name=lists[] value=2> Subscribe to list 2<br>
<input type=checkbox name=lists[] value=3> Subscribe to list 3<br>
You may also be able to use a multi-SELECT box as shown here (http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_SELECT_MULTIPLE.html) but I am not sure if when only one option is selected the lists variable becomes an array or a simple string, which could cause a processing problem if not rectified with JavaScript onSubmit() ;)
