Validating PHP dropdown menu

-----------------------------------

Im trying to make it so that each course can only be selected once, so let's say I select math for the first course, it should not be in the next dropdown menu. So only 1 of each course can be chosen.

Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/zUaEXbPS

May the heathen gods smite you for this:





What's wrong with a textbox? What are your reasons specifically for using a drop down box for this data field?

The formatting of this code makes my head hurt. Anyways. Selecting a option is a client side event that happens after the server finishes generating the page. This is something that should be done with client side scripting.

Javascript is necessary.

Also, you really shouldn't be using tables or inline styling.
