Setting the session for each form input on the confirm.php page and binding these to the form fields on the checkout page works great! Except for the dynamic menu/list for the State and Country selections.

Tip for others in forum: When Binding a menu/list to a session value use the Design view, place curser on the leftside of the form field and use the Tab key to select the form box. Then select the appropriate binding element from Application-Bindings and click on the Insert button at the bottom of the Bindings window. The session value will instert a "title=" echo <session>"" entry into the form code.

If returned back to the confirm page, when a State is selceted the validation error message hides and when you hover over the field the value displays. The session is set to hold the "value" not the label (ex. label=New York, value=NY). The value is required next to process the courier and payment functions. So in a sense the valiation is working correctly. However, the user sees a blank label with the state name in the from field. I think that I ran into this before and look at my other code but in that case I was using both server and client validation. What can I do so that the customer does not need reselect?

if (ValidatedField('checkout','checkout')) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("checkout","checkout").","), "," . "7" . ",") !== false || "7" == "")) {

} while ($row_BillState = mysql_fetch_assoc($BillState));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($BillState);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($BillState, 0);
$row_BillState = mysql_fetch_assoc($BillState);
