Almost what I wanted to do.
I am looking for a way to set the default option value to the selection the
user just chose. for example, something like
<select name=cars value=$_POST['cars']>

hahaha..
that's simple.. drop down menu always return to the null because u
don't give selected on one of option.
i have a function (build in) that's answer your problem.. if you on
hurry.. i'm sory, i cant give it now.. my skrip in other comp..
<select>
<option value="base" selected>sale options</option>
<option value="base2" >Buy options</option>
</select>
try this on offline
i believe.. the first you enter the page.. the sale option will be
selected
now add 2 option then try one of the option you add have selected..
what happen next you will see the default will be change, remember
erase selected
forgive me.. i think it matter of js but it matter of html.
fyi.. try using ajax .. i believe it make your life for comfort..
(since it don't need to refresh the page) and make your skill up.
