    Try this
    
 <select name="abc" [B] onChange="Refresh(this.value)"[/B]>
    Code (markup):
    And add this code in <head> section of document.

    
function Refresh(id){
location.href="your_page.php?abc=" + id 
}
    PHP:
    get the value of $id and use it to check selected value in list.

    That's what the second part of my code is for, it checks to see if that <option> was submitted last time and if so sets it to "selected"
