creating a sticky form compatible with onChange

assgar · March 26, 2008

Hi

I was using PHP sessions to create a sticky form but a

button was needed to reload the page.

I am new to Java and I have decided to do away with the button.

Using onChange="javascript:OnChange(this) to cause the

page to reload once a selection is made from a dynamic dropdown works.

The problem is the input box and other dropdown on the same page lose

their information. How can I create a sticky form that is

compatible with onChange?

Thanks


<?
include("../priority_low_to_high_in.php");//proiority drop down
?>
