Hi everyone,
I'm trying to submit a page to itself whereby i have a listbox via the
select tag and once the user has selected an item they can submit the form.
The problem is, i want the value the user has selected to remain in place
without refreshing once submitted. This works fine using <iframe>, but i'm
not allowed to use that.
Please help.

Not clear on what the question is, but...
In your selector, just check the value of each option against what you had
submitted. If you are generating the select option list in a loop, then
it's pretty easy. Otherwise, you'll have to create an If..Else.. for each
option to check the value. When you reach a value that matches what you
submitted, just add the 'selected' attribute to the option.
HTH,
Peter

>Thanx Peter,
I'll try what you said.
Just to clarify the question. I have a listbox which is hard coded.
<form>
<select name=txt"">
<option value=0>trade</option>
<option value=1>personal</option>
</select>
<input type = submit value = submit>
</form>
On submitting form 'noname' i want the value chosen to remain visible
without changing to the default. I hope this is clearer.
Thanx
Ade'
