如何将select选项中的值传递给其他形式的其他选择选项

Question

I want to move data from one form to another form with similar inputs in diferent pages, as I do to make the select option to acquire the same value when I submit form1 and form2 sees.

<form action="form2.html" method="post">
<select name="selection" >
  <option value="" selected="selected">select one</option>
  <option value="1" >one</option>
  <option value="2" >two</option>
  <option value="3" >three</option>
</select>

i need to get this value in the second form "form2.html"

how i can do this?

thanks !!

The action page is necessarily a server page. You have to set the second page say, as form2.php. The data you submit here will go to the form2.php as a post value. It will be something like this :

<form action="form_submit.php" method="post">
<select name="selection2" >

 <option value="1" <?php if($_POST['selection'] =="1"){echo "selected='selected'";}?> >one</option>
 <option value="2" <?php if($_POST['selection'] =="2"){echo "selected='selected'";}?>>two</option>
 <option value="3" <?php if($_POST['selection'] =="3"){echo "selected='selected'";}?>>three</option>
</select>
</form>

Thus you can get the value in the previous value selected in your new form. Otherwise you may use session to store the value temporarily.
