I am currently building a form and one field requires grabbing values from a database to show the result. Thus I need to refresh the page passing the values that have are ready been entered in the address bar. For example: webpagename.php?fname=Joe. Therefore when the page refreshes, the name Joe will remain in the first name text box. I would like to the same with values in a combo box (<Select><option></option></Select>) . The combo box gets dynamically generate when the user adds an item. What is the best way to retain the added values when the page refreshes. |

Just pass the values from the first page to the form handler using get/post as you normally would. When the formhandler rewrites the page/another page, habe it write value="x", or "select" options for then new form elements - depending upon the requirements fof the partivular form element. -------------
