Hi,
Firstly welcome the thescripts :)
Secondly next time please use code tags :(
Thirdly your problem...
You are echoing the options on every iteration of the for loop. You need to re work your logic.
Forthly if you can't work it out, i'm gonna write some code when i get time and you can look at it later.

Thanks :)

Hi again, heres some badic code, it might need a spot of debugging as i haven't got apache at work, but i think it should give you at least some direction


[PHP]<?php
//Bangalore loop
$strSelected = "";
for($c=0;$c<$jobcount;$c++)
{
$strSelected = ("Bangalore"==$vinloc [$c]?"selected=on":$strSelected);
}?>
<option value="Bangalore" <?php echo $strSelected ?>>Bangalore</option>

<?php
//Calcutta Loop
$strSelected = "";
for($c=0;$c<$jobcount;$c++)
{
$strSelected = ("Calcutta"==$vinloc [$c]?"selected=on":$strSelected);
}?>
<option value="Calcutta" <?php echo $strSelected ?>>Calcutta</option>

<?php
//Chennai Loop
$strSelected = "";
for($c=0;$c<$jobcount;$c++)
{
$strSelected = ("Chennai"==$vinloc [$c]?"selected=on":$strSelected);
}?>
<option value="Chennai" <?php echo $strSelected ?>>Chennai</option>

<?php
//Chennai Loop
$strSelected = "";
for($c=0;$c<$jobcount;$c++)
{
$strSelected = ("Delhi"==$vinloc [$c]?"selected=on":$strSelected);
}?>
<option value="Delhi" <?php echo $strSelected ?>>Delhi</option>[/PHP]
