Holding Value

[deekap]

I have a form, I select eventname from my form and after selecting,it displays the values related to it from database but when it shows other values, the value in eventname disappers.

Can any one please help or tell me what i am doing wrong here.

the code is here:

<select name='eventtype' onchange='eventtypeselect(this)'>
<option value=''></option>
<option value=''>TechnicalPre-screen</option>
<option value=''>Passport1</span></option>
<option value=''>Passport2</option>
<option value=''>Passport3</option>
<option value=''>Passport4</option>
<option value=''>DesignReview</span></option>

</select>
</td>
function eventtypeselect(selobj)
{

// alert('in eventtypeselect ') ;

// alert('Option value: ' + selobj.options[selobj.selectedIndex].value);
// alert('Text Value: ' + selobj.options[selobj.selectedIndex].text);
var mystring = selobj.options[selobj.selectedIndex].text ;
var projectstring = &quot;&quot; ;
var myobj = document.all('saveprojectname');
projectstring = myobj.value
if (projectstring == &quot;&quot {
alert(&quot;You must select a project first.&quot ;
window.location=&quot;createevent.jsp&quot; ;
return;
}
window.location=&quot;createevent.jsp?projectname=&quot; + projectstring + &quot;&eventtype=&quot; + mystring ;
return ;

Sorry for confusing you, ok it is eventtype, so when i select any value from the select tag, i have other values in the form which get displayed after selecting the eventtype. So when you select eventtype, it display other values but eventtype value disppears. I have posted my Java Script Code.
Please help

having this line
window.location=&quot;createevent.jsp?projectname=&quot; + projectstring + &quot;&eventtype=&quot; + mystring ;

I don't see how anything stays displayed as you're redirecting to this page. unless this is the page URL of the page in question. If that is the case you need to get the value that was selected before redirecting in your JSP code
eg: request.getParameter(&quot;eventtype&quot;
from what you are concatinating in the url in the redirection

then you need to validate if that value is <> &quot;&quot; and if it is found to have a value set the value equal to the Parameter in the listbox to SELECTED.
a easy solution would be to genearte the <select> box with your JSP code. then you can printLn the SELECTED value in the option if eventtype is found to have been passed already
