Ensuring dynamic selections remain after submitting?

[wolfcry]

Hey all,

 

Another question for you. How does one make it so that the selections (choices) a user selects for dynamic selection boxes remain after the form is posted, which does post back to itself?

 

I've tried JavaScript using the "name" of the selection box as the id but I must be doing something wrong because it's not working..as usual lol. The values in the selection boxes are populated dynamically so I'm not sure how to do this.

 

Thank you.

perhaps seeing some of your code would be helpful

<?php

echo '<select name="myselectionbox">';
for($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++){
  echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}

echo '</selection>';
?>

 

I suppose so, but it's just your average dynamic selection box.

 

Also, just an FYI, the form is posting back to same page using POST method.
