There are a lot of different ways to do this, but this is straightforward and simple.

The reason I’m posting this is that I’ve found myself looking for something like this a million times.

This is assuming there is a PHP variable named “$statename”, either by POST or through reading in a database table with the previous value.

 
<select name=”statename” >
<option value=”" <?php if (!$statename) echo ” selected”; ?>>Select a State</option>
<option value=”AL” <?php if ($statename == “AL”) echo ” selected”; ?>>Alabama</option>
<option value=”AK” <?php if ($statename == “AK”) echo ” selected”; ?>>Alaska</option>

Too many websites are not in compliance, rendering them useless to those visually impaired or blind. Section 508 compliance standards are listed here.

A checklist of what Section 508 HTML and scripts compliance regulations are involved can be found here.

EJ Host’s website and HTML development process includes section 508 compliance. Section 508 compliance is an important regulation that many designers ignore. These developers are cutting off a significant portion of web traffic from accessing their sites.
