Hey guys,
the scenario is this: see select below
<form name="limit">
<select name="limiter" onChange="limit(this.value)">
<option selected="selected"> </option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
</select>
</form>
I want whenever any option is selected for 3 things to happen:
1.) js limit() function is called which all it does its takes current url, adds new query parameter 'limit' with the user selected value eg:
http://localhost/blahblah/apps/category.php?pg=1&catId=3021&limit=5
(this will cause the category.php page to be hit and # of product displayed limited to the value selected by user)
2.)Once the url is hit, it reloads but i DONT want the value selected to reset back to the default (which it currently does). I want it to reflect the users selection after page reload.
3.) Also, when i move to the next page (pagination), i would like the state to be carried ova to the next page (ie. remembering the user selection).
