It overrides whatever selection you have in your form. I could see this kind of thing happening if the id or name of the form elements change (hence the browser doesn't know what to reset to) or if the value sin the select boxes are changing. I don't know of any way to stop FireFox from *not* keeping form values when you refresh except for putting JS in your page to reset the values onLoad. -- Justin Patrin
