Hello Cogga,

if you want the selected value to remain selected on page load this is how you do it

[php]

<?php // this echos correct selection echo "".$_SESSION['gender']."
"; $gender = $_SESSION['gender']; //u dont need this if statement so i commented it out // if ($_SESSSION['gender']== "Male"){ // $maleselected ='selected="selected"'; // $femaleselected =''; // } // else{ // $femaleselected ='selected="selected"'; // $maleselected =''; // } ?> Please Select an Option >Male >Female

[/php]

let me know if that works

good luck
