Retain select box values

[Xia]

I would like to retain selected values of select boxes after a formsubmit when some fields aren't filled in correctly and error messages are displayed.

How should I handle this?

Thanks

Sorry but i don't really understand your question. Could you please try to explain more what you are trying to do.

When I select the third option from a dropdown box, and then submit the form, the form will be redisplayed if not all fields were entered correctly, for example, name field is a required field.

Now, normal input type=text fields retain their value, however, dropdown boxes don't. i want the dropdown box to still show the value I selected before I submitted the page.

Thanks

What is the code you use to display the dropdown?
