@Angry_Black_ManSep 29.2007 — #sorry, this question is confusing. it appears there is a greater context that youre speaking of, but this question is asked outside of that context, and cannot be understood.
i expect that there is a scirpt that catches the "onchange" event within that dropdown, and it does "something", which in turn reloads the page which in turn resets your values. but this is a guess.
if you can describe the full context of the problem clearly, or link the page where this is happening, someone may be able to help you.
