Hello I have a Jump menu on the website I am producing and it displays a list of years and when you select a year it jumps to that page.
Here is the code:

Your problem lies in the fact that for each <option> tag you have added the word selected.

The word selected determines which item is the default selected item, therefore only one of your tags should contain the word selected (unless you have multiple set in the <select> tag which you don't need).

That still doesnt cure the problem.
It doesnt show the year that has been selected when the page reloads.

For example if i choose 1997 then when the data is shown i wanted to have 1997 still in the combo box, instead of it going staright back to 2005.

Also I still cant re-select the selected one.

For Example if 2005 is selected when i open the page and i choose another year. I cannot re-choose 2005

Have you got a link to your page as opposed to just the source

If you are reloading the page then it will default to the selected item.
This is unless you are using server-side coding and selecting the item that way.
