Unable to retain Dropn down values after submitting form

Hi All,

I am not able to retain drop down values after submitting form in my jsp.
My jsp is as follows.

<form name="branch" target="_top" action="" method="get">
<select name="searchDropDown" id="br">
<option value="Select Entity to search">Select Entity to search</option>

<option value="MN">main</option>
<option value="EX">examples</option>
<option value="TR">training</option>
<option value="IC">content</option>
<option value="EU">europe</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="searchText" value="<%=searchText%>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onClick="validate();"/>

I am able to retain my text box value. But unable to do so for dropdown "searchDropDown".

Thanks in advance.

Please UseCodeTags when posting code or configuration. Unformatted code and configuration is unnecessarily difficult to read.

What do you mean, "retain"? You have no code that would re-select any options; you use a value for the text. Options won't magically select themselves!
