Question

I am using the DBIQueryPlugin to pull some data from a pre-existing database. This works exactly as expected. Now, I would like to use an HTML select list to limit results of the query. This works fine with in the DBI query. However, when the page is submitted, the "state" of the HTML form is, of course, lost. I am looking for a way to set the "selected" value on a select list based on . However, I don't see a way to do this. Is a plugin needed for this?

Thanks, Sean

I am not familiar with this plugin, but I assume this is the same for TWikiForms based applications: You have a choice how to remember picklist values.

1. List URL parameter value in first entry:

2. Select pick-list value based on URL parameter value:
