Information not saving on form with option group 1

[pandapark]

Hi

I've a form with an option group. I'm using VBscript to write server-side validation - has to be like this
When I submit the form it retains any text values but I can't get it to retain the option group value - I am plugging this code into an off the shelf package so i can't use method such as below
<option value="under 18" <% If AgeGroup = "under 18" Then Response.Write "SELECTED" %>>under 18

this is part of what i have

b = b & "<select name=Law id=Law"
b = b & "<option value="""">Select a Law Type</option>"
b = b & "<option value=""Gen"">Gen</option>"
b = b & "<option value=""Lit"">Lit</option>"
b = b & "</select>"

I want to say if the user chooses Gen but doesn't meet the all the validation it retains the value Gen

any ideas much appreciated
Tony

split up your concantenation lines

....
b = b & "<option value=""Gen""
if condition then 
b = b & " selected >Gen</option>" 
else 
b = b & ">Gen</option>" 
end if
....
