Adam Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Firstly you'll need to use the PHP extension on the file (unless you have configured your server to parse html files?) Then you'll need to pass a parameter through the URL, like so: <a href="second_page.php?link=1">Link 1</a> .. Doesn't have to be "link=1". Then on second_page.php you'll need to use some PHP to decide which option to select, quick and simple way of doing it.. <select name="link" id="link"> <option value="Link 1"<?php if ($_GET['link'] == 1) { echo ' selected'; } ?>>Link 1 was selected</option> <option value="Link 2"<?php if ($_GET['link'] == 2) { echo ' selected'; } ?>>Link 2 was selected</option> <option value="Link 3"<?php if ($_GET['link'] == 3) { echo ' selected'; } ?>>Link 3 was selected</option> </select> $_GET['..'] is used to return values sent in the URL, so $_GET['link'] holds the value of '1' if in the URL you had: 'link=1' ..
