option boxes blank out when "Back" is pressed

[smsinger3]

Hello all.

This problem is stumping me. I have 2 option boxes on a page. When I move on to another page, then click the "Back" button on the browser, only 1 of the option boxes still contains the data that I selected. The other box is blank and I have to reselect the data. Does anyone know why?????? If you want me to post my code, let me know.

Thanks for you help! X-)

Post the code and I'll take a look for you.

This is the box that will be BLANK when the user hits the BACK key.

<SELECT size=1 NAME=&quot;Category&quot; tabindex=3>
<Option selected></option>
<Option value=36021>Research Photo</option>
<Option value=36022>Assignment Photo</option>
<SELECT>


This is the box that keeps the same information
<SELECT size=1 name=&quot;placement&quot; tabindex=4>
<Option selected></option>
<Option value=73>left</option>
<Option value=33025>right</option>
<Option value=75>top</option>
<Option value=33062>(add placement by hand)</option>
</SELECT>

Any ideas what the deal is?

Thanks!
