select tag help!!!

[morrisoner]

i have a form and u click submit and it generates a preview of what will be submitted. At the end of the preview are buttons 'edit' and 'submit'.

The buttons are in seperate forms.
Anyway when you click on edit it sends all the information back to the form page and it all works well, but i dont know how to get those drop down menu's to be selected.

I tried javascript, but i dont know it that well, and it doesnt work.
Anyone help please.
Thanx

and compare to the select data

from the submit

$myselectvar=$_POST['myselectbox'];

then

really easy if the drop down is db driven

echo "<select name=\'myselectbox\'>

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)
$item=$row['item'];

if ($rowfromdbvalue==$myselectvar){

 echo "<option value=$item SELECTED>$item</option>";

}else{
echo "<option value=$item>$item</option>";
}

} //end loop
