hello there,

can anyone help me on how can i be able to retain selected drop down value in the next page?

eg.

value a is default in the dropdown
then i selected value c

when i click submit button

the dropdown list value on that second page should be c rather than a

cant seem to find proper script that will help >.<

thank you in advance.

God Bless you

Use JSP mechanisms (JSTL and EL) to place the selected value on the <option> element that is to be selected.
