Too vague.

[ashton321]

What filter are you speaking about?

[jcombs_31]

You'll need to do a check with either php or javascript and set selected=selected

[xgrewellx]

Even though this is entirely too vague to answer, I'm going to go ahead and take a stab at what I think you'll want:

 

$state = $_GET['state'];

// You will put this next to each state inside the form tag

 

<? if($state == 'AL'){ print 'selected="selected"'; } ?>

 

and so on and so on
