Are prioritizing list/menus even possible?

[dreamincode]

I want to include a list/menu drop down box that lets the user choose a 1, 2 or
3 for each choice in a list of items I want them to prioritize.
For example
Rank the importance of the following needs: (with 1 being the highest)
(list/menu here) Air conditioning
(list/menu here) Maintencance of existing schools
(list/menu here) Alleviation of overcrowding

I want them to rank the choices but only be able to enter a 1, 2 or 3 among
the three choices. Right now with a list/menu they can enter a 1 on each of
the items.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not use radio buttons instead of a list menu? For example -

Air conditioning - * 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 (where * = radio button)

Then, to clarify, if you only want to allow a single "1" selection, give all
the "1" radio buttons the same name. Set their value to indicate which
choice was made.

if I use radio buttons then they could pick 1, 2 and 3 on one item. See below.
Please rank the importance of the following needs: (with 1 being the highest)
1- 2- 3- Air conditioning
1- 2- 3- Maintenance of esisting school buildings
1- 2- 3- Alleviation of overcrowding in existing buildings

Not if the radio buttons for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 all had the same name for
each item, e.g.,

<input type="radio" name="AirCond" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="AirCond" value="2">
<input type="radio" name="AirCond" value="3">
<input type="radio" name="AirCond" value="4">

sorry--here is the correct address

I agree, they would only be able to pick a 1 or a 2 or a 3 etc.. for air
conditioning. But they could still pick a 1 for the other two items also.
I want them to rank air conditioning with the other two topics. for example
Rank
2--Air conditioning
1--Maintenance
3-Overcrowding

I hope I am making my self clear. If not I can explain more.
