The text box needs to have a different name. If you are just sending the results to email, then that
would be all you have to do, and you would see in the email the word "other" and then the "11" for
the text box field.
You could most likely use JavaScript to replace the "Other" with the value of the text box, but I
can't help you with that.
If you are writing to a database via ASP, you can test for the value of "Other" and then if True use
the value of the text box field.
