We want to make a page in which a form will appear after another first form will be submitted (using this information to fulfill new combos, etc).
The first form had a combo box, but after submitting, the selected option disappear.
How could we "save" the selected option after submitting?
Thanks for all and sorry about my english:)

hi eva
so something like this
<form name='frm1' method='post' action=xyz.jsp>
<select name='s1'>
<option>asd</option>
</select>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
<form name='frm2' action='xxx.jsp' method ='post'>
other fields
</form>
i think whare you are going wrong is not closing the first form before starting the second.

OK, but after submitting the second form, request changes to fit the new form parameters and no longer has "LastName" as one of their parameters, so request.getParameters("LastName") returns null.
That is why i wanted some type of "static" container to "save" that value before submitting the second form
hi sandy. It's not exactly that, i've:
<form name='frm1' method='post' action=xyz.jsp>
<select name='s1'>
<option>asd</option>
</select>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
<%if(request.getParameter("asd")!=null){%>
<form name='frm2' action='xxx.jsp' method ='post'>
other fields
</form>
>%}%>
First form is a selection of films. I want that the second form only will appear after the film you want to see is selected, showing you the sessions in which that film will be played.
I managed to do it, but the selected film doesn't remain selected when it changes to the second form after submitting the first one
hi eva
i don't know whther you have done a typing mistake or it is real mistake in your program
in your request.getparameter("asd") give the select name...
otherwise it will return null.
also if this is not the problem please explain it more as i am not able to get the eaxct problem you are facing.

Sorry it was a typing mistake :)
This point is correct in my code.
What i mean is that, during execution of the code, i select a film in the select box of first form (i.e Gladiator) and Gladiator keeps as the option selected in the box. When i submit this first form, the second form appears under the first one, with sessions for Gladiator (what i wanted) but Gladiator fades as the option selected in the box (i mean, it continues selected, but the combo in the interface doesn't show it as the option selected, instead putting the first option as if there werent' nothin selected)
thanks sandy for trying to understand my poors explanations :)
got it do the following
after submitting the form use this code in jsp .The jsp to which the form gets submitted
code:
<form name='frm1' method='post' action=xyz.jsp>
<select name='s1'>
<%if(request.getParameter("s1")!=null){%>
<option><%= request.getParameter("s1") %></option> //this will show gladiator as selected and first film
>%}%>
<option>other films</option> //otherfilms
</select>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
<%if(request.getParameter("s1")!=null){%>
<form name='frm2' action='xxx.jsp' method ='post'>
other fields
</form>
>%}%>
bye
sandy
no need to say thanks we are here to help each other. sorry but i got to log off now if any other query mail me

you have to check the select box
like
<%
String asd = "s2";
String selected ="selected";
%>
<select name='s1'>
<option >s1</option>
<option ><%if(asd=="s2"){%>selected<%}%>>s2</option>
</select>
you can use this you need the selected inside the option for it to be selected
<form name='frm1' method='post' action=xyz.jsp>
<select name='s1'>
<%if(request.getParameter("s1")!=null){%>
<option selected><%= request.getParameter("s1") %></option> //this will show gladiator as selected and first film
>%}%>
<option>other films</option> //otherfilms
</select>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
Hi EVA,
I found an error in your code:
<form name='frm1' method='post' action=xyz.jsp>
<select name='s1'>
<option>asd</option>
</select>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
<%if(request.getParameter("asd")!=null){%>
<form name='frm2' action='xxx.jsp' method ='post'>
other fields
</form>
>%}%>
when you are checking for not equal to null condition you are directly using "request.getParameter("asd")" where 'asd' is not a form parameter..Use, request.getParameter("s1")..
