Hi  
I have partial form and i have attached its html generated  
version…When I click on each select what happens is another search  
window replaces this partial which is completely inside a div.Then again  
the search result comes on next window and when i select one again the  
first page comes with new data(Here database not updated it happens only  
upon save).But what my problem is suppose if I select first select and  
then second select the result of first goes …Should I use session,… to  
save temperorily this data or is there any other solution.As I am new to  
session please help me

Yes, you should use a session, or a temporary place within the  
database. A session is better, though. Make sure you write code to  
expire your sessions, though.
