mds1256 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi I have a Title select box on my website (Mr, Mrs, Miss, etc). Now, if they enter something that does not meet the form validation, it reloads the page and populates the fields that has already been filled out along with the appropriate error message. Now my question is what is the best way to add the selected value that was chosen on the initial filled out form so they dont have to re-select.
