Hello

I am in the process of trying to create some Classic ASP web pages. The first page will allow the user to select data using a number of different criteria, some of them entered as text fields and others as selections in combo boxes (drop-down lists).

Once the user has made his/her selection, s/he is taken to a second page which displays the results of the search.

To be clear, the code for the first and second pages is sound: everything works exactly as I want it to. However, I'm looking at putting a link onto the second page that enables the user to return to the initial search screen and refine the search without having to re-enter all the criteria. I can get the first page displaying once more, and have started the job of re-populating all of the fields according to the values that were originally passed from page 1 to page 2.

My problem is this: how do I assign an existing value to a combo box? When I repopulate the text fields, it's simply done using the value attribute for that field, and deciding whether the page is a new load or a reload from the second page. However when I try to do this using a combo box I get told that the value attribute is not valid for a select element.

Can someone tell me how I get around this issue?

Thanks
