So... the logic goes:

Code:

if no submitted form value for field 
	
	write the select box,
	write the options in it,
	add option to selectbox, using selectbox's label text, and make it selected

else if submitted value

	write the select box,
	write the options in it,
	if one of the options has the same value as the submitted form value
		make that one selected

Is that about right? If so, and especially if you're sumbitting the page to itself, I'd do it all server side. Sorry, that's probably not the answer you needed.
