Select box question…

Hi, i`m using select box a value of which I`m putting in the database. The problem is that when I select some of the values and hit submit, it still shows the default value (but in the database it inputs the users choise). How to make it show the previously selected value?
For insance:

<select name=”contact_type”>

<option value=”nothing”> </option>

<option value=”Skype”>Skype</option>

<option value=”MSN”>MSN</option>

<option value=”Twitter”>Twitter</option>

<option value=”Facebook”>Facebook</option>

<option value=”Yahoo”>Yahoo!</option>
</select>

if the user selects MSN after the submission I want it to stay after the refresh, not to go back to the default furst value, do you understand what I mean?
