    I have 2 selection boxes. the selection of the first one determines the contents of the second selection box. Once the user has made a selection from both boxes, they need to press the submit button.
    However, once the submit button has been pressed, the contents of the second selection box are reset. how can i keep the contents of the second one set??

    You can keep the second drop box ( or first one also ) selected by reading the value from the POST form and then using one if condition to add selected object to the option. You can get an idea on how the two ( or three ) drop down boxes works here.

    You can use the QUERYSTRING to keep track of data in the first selection box. Checking the existance to this querystring you can repopulate data in the second selection box.

    Have fun.
