Hello

I am new to JavaScript and need some assistance.

I am trying to create a page/form
where the user enters first and last name and select their title (Mr, Miss or Mrs).

There is also the ability to select 1 of 2 options by clicking a link.

After the name, title and option is selected the data is sent to the database using a submit button

The problem is when the link is selected and page refreshes and all the data is lost because the sticky page is not working.

<?
/**
   page: page_list_form.php
**/

include("../reqin/title_in.php");//title drop down

$option = $_REQUEST['u_source_id'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];

?>

Hello

I have made some changes that provise some hope.

When I select the link the sticky form works and the values are not lost.
The url display the value for the selected option. The is problem I am now having is with the

$option = $_REQUEST['u_source_id'];

it is not receiving the url value. The php if statement is not displaying the information related to the user selection.

<?
/**
   page: page_list_form.php
**/

include("../reqin/title_in.php");//title drop down

$option = $_REQUEST['u_source_id'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];

?>
