what does it mean label of "Reason for inquiry "? extra credit

Extra Credit Add a new type of field to the contact form, something like a dropdown field with a label of "Reason for Inquiry" and a few options in it.

Do you have any good idea to use PHP? Do you have any demo for it?

The contact form itself is built up with tables, correct? You just need add a new row < tr > to your table that contains a dropdown. For reference, a drop down consists of a < select > element containing multiple < option > elements. Make sure to create a < label > element for it along with the necessary attributes so you can pass the selected value via a $_GET or $_POST variable.

But you already knew that, didn't you ;)

thanks for your replied! My bad I was thinking off the point using the Getbootstrap plugin Javascript with dropdowns with contact form built up with tables its almost impossible to do that way that's why. It got me confused and I suddenly stuck that parts lol. I am gonna to back and work on it soon.
