1. Before posting, store the value (in this case the selectedIndex of the SELECT) you want in a hidden control (INPUT TYPE = "Hidden" etc...)
2. Accept the value in the page accepting the post in a Server side variable.
3.When you return to the original page, obtain the server variable in a client side variable using javascript (var Clientvar = <%=ServerVar%> ; )
4. Set the selectedIndex of the SELECT as the client variable (<<Select_Name>>.selectedIndex = Clientvar)
