This ASP rookie is creating a web page to let customers make limo reservations. I validate the user input prior to appending the data to the server. If it fails validation, I want to leave their input there so they don't have to input it again. This seems easy to do with textboxes:

value = <% = request.form("Passname")%>

but is there a similarly easy way to do this with drop down boxes? Since the way to set that value appears to be:

selected="selected"

on the appropriate option, the only way I see to retain the input is an If/Then for each option, which seems like a lot of effort. Am I missing something?

TIA

i setup a contact us page for ppl to send email messages to my department. If validation fails, i reported the error and created a link using javascript's history.back(). This keeps all form data intact.

leave user verification blank to test.

Thanks; I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.
