[Resolved] Select field

[jlpierce]

Hello all,

I am using the select field in an html registration form and if the data cannot be validated then I want to resubmit the form and I want to show the user the data that they have submitted on the first attempt.

So far I have been able to redisplay the data typed in to the form text fields, but I cannot figure how to reload the page with the specific hint question that they have chosen. ie: when the page reloads the question is always set to Mothers' maiden name?.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<SELECT name=hint>
<OPTION VALUE=maiden>Mothers' maiden name?
<OPTION VALUE=color>Your favorite color?

<OPTION VALUE=dog>Your dogs name?
<OPTION VALUE=eatery>Your favorite restaurant?
</SELECT>
</TD>

you need something like:

<OPTION VALUE=maiden<? if ($hint == 'maiden') print " selected";?>>Mothers' maiden name?

for each option.

BTW - shouldn't that be mother's and not mothers'

BTW - you are right on mother's thanks.

The code snippet works wonders.
