Hello everybody,

I have a list box whose values i am getting from controller class.  
There is a submit button below it.when it is pressed, i always loose  
the value which was selected and once again the first value is  
displayed. I have made the use of “selected” but everytime i want the  
last value to be displayed in list box that was selected once the  
submit button is pressed.

the concern rhtml code is :

 \<% for supplier in @suppliers %\> \<%= supplier %\> \<% end %\> 

Any help would really be appreciated  
thanks a lot,  
Czar
