Using $_POST and $_GET Variables you should be able to retreive almost any value from a form and put it in the right place on a new page, this right place can be one of your drop down list element...

To make absolutly sure your Cancel Button will send the good value to the right page put it in an independant form that has your new page (where you have yout dropdown list) as its action, and in this seperate form put an hidden field that holds the specific value you wanna see in this dd list ...

Hope I am clear but starting with your very "fuzzy" and blur question It is hard to help you ...

Please be more precise next time ;p
