Unable to retain Dropn down values after submitting form

[Diptee Bhakre]

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.

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!
