Dropdown Menu <selected Name="...
I have a dropdown menu like this one:
<select name="country" tabindex="6" id="select_country">
<option value="">- Country List -</option>
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM country ORDER BY country ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
$country = $row['country']; ?>
<option value="<?php echo $country ?>"><?php echo $country ?></option>
After I have selected one country and I hit the submit button it go back to the default value in the box, what I want is to show the selected value in box until I selected another value.
If the default value is Australia when I start this page, I then select USA and hit the submit button it reset to the default value "Australia", but I want it to show USA as long I not select anything else. I have tried to use session in selected="<?php echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>" but it didnt work.

[PEAR:QuickForm] Dynamically Change A Dropdown Menu According To Another Menu?
I've been using QuickForm for a few months now and I am now given a new challenge: I've got a search form with a dozen of dropdown menus, the first dropdown menu being "Brand". If you select either Brand A, B, C, D... Z, the second dropdown menu "Model" must be dynamically changed to model AA, AB, AC, AD..., according to the models manufactured by the brand selected in the first box. I've seen that done on quite a few sites, but never found if QuickForm had a quick & clean way of doing that.

Php Dropdown - Selected?
i'm using this to pull information from a database and display it in a dropdown list. The problem is I am using the name code when I goto the "Update" page, but i'm not sure how to add the "selected" field, that way what ever I saved in the database will load. Example: I goto add and it add's the "id" of 7 to the field, when I load the page again it auto's back to 1 instead of clicking in-to 7 as thats whats already there... = ) Code:

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:

Print All Selected Items From Dropdown??
I have a program that allows users to select a 'New Graduate' membership, and for each one selected, they get a free tshirt. I've got that working using a 'is_new_grad' function that I created. So, if they select 2, they see 2 dropdowns to select the sizes of them. It then sends an email w/ the membership info and the shirt sizes selected. However, when the email is being sent, it's only returning the size of the LAST item selected in from the drop-downs. Example: if I sign up for four of these memberships and select four different tshirt sizes (1 Medium, 1 Lg, 1 XL, and 1 XXL), the info in the email is all XXL: Code:

Jump Menu Selected Value
I have a set of 2 menus where the values of the 2nd are dependent on the value selected in the first. Yes, I will (eventually) convert this to a javascript process, but for now I am content reloading the page.

Selected Value In Drop Down Menu
I want the first option ("selected" option) in a drop down menu to be based on the URL a user clicks on. For example, if the user clicks on the link: layouts.php?submit=true&category=abstract The first and selected value in the drop down menu should be abstract Then the rest of the menu will pull from the database. The code I am using now (below) lists all my categories from my database, but it is not putting the selected value first. How can I get this to work?? Code:

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

Unwanted URLs In URL Dropdown Menu
I'm working on a PHP script and it has a user login, and the variables (username, password, id number) are passed via the URL bar. Is it possible to somehow not allow the visited page show up in the dropdown list of URLs in the browser? The problem is that people can view the list and easily see people's usernames and passwords. Example: http://www.somesite.com?username=john&password=12345 What I only want is: http://www.somesite.com/ I know that Hotmail.com doesn't show all of the pages that have been visited, all it shows in the list is hotmail.com, so I think it is possible to do this, but I don't know how.
