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😮nChange(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
?>

    Java is NOT the same as JavaScript. Not by a long shot.

    Try dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].selected = true;
