I have created an HTML web form. Several of the select lists were so long that I put them in a seperate .js file and I am populating them when the form loads. This increased the speed in which the form loads in the browser since these select lists are populated last. My problem is that when a user hits the back button to go back and change something on the form, my javascript populates the select lists effectively wiping out the user's previous selection.
I want users to be able to go back and fix entries on the form. The normal form fields retain the previous entered value, it is just the select lists that are wiped out because of the way that I populate them. I am looking for a way to retain the value of these select lists when the user hits the back button.
I am not sure there is a solution to this, however I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Ken
