D.I.C Head Joined: 15 May, 2009 Posts: 99 My Contributions	I have a HTML select (combo box) where i load list of subjects from the database. There is a button next to it. And when i click the search button there is another select box which loads all the lecturers teaching the specific subject selected from the combo box above. Now both are working fine But finally when both the Subject ID and Lecturer are selected, there is another submit button which sends those information to the database. But once the search button is clicked, when the page loads with the lecturers, the item selected for the subject is reset. The first item is selected. I want it to stay the same even after the page submit
