Hi!

I created a form in a python file that takes values selected from 6 different 
drop down boxes:

for target in all_targets:
       s = s + "<form action='process_info' method='POST'>"
       s = s + "<input type='hidden' name='tg' value=%s>" % target
       s = s + "<tr><td></td>"
       for host in hosts:
           if target in ants_map[host]:
               s = s + printbox()
           else:
             s = s + printemptybox()
       s = s + """<td><input type='submit' value='Submit'></td></tr>"""
       s = s + "</form>"
       
My printbox method contains the following:
def printbox():

   tag = """
   <select name="percent">
   <option VALUE="-">-</option>
   <option VALUE="0">0%</option>
   <option VALUE="10">10%</option>
   <option VALUE="20">20%</option>
   <option VALUE="30">30%</option>
   <option VALUE="40">40%</option>
   <option VALUE="50">50%</option>
   <option VALUE="60">60%</option>
   <option VALUE="70">70%</option>
   <option VALUE="80">80%</option>
   <option VALUE="90">90%</option>
   <option VALUE="100">100%</option>
   </select>"""
   return tag

When the values are entered, my program stores them into a database. 
Everything worked well, but now I have been asked to retain the values 
selected in the drop down boxes. This means that when I open the web page, the 
drop down boxes should display the recent values entered. I'm not sure how to 
do it, and I'm really hoping that someone can point me to the right direction. 

Thanks,
Patty
