title: Making a select option stay selected. Cookies?
body: <p>I have a very simple select option, I'm hoping for it to trigger a refresh and specific action when clicked. But before I get to that I want to know how I can keep it selected after any refresh or action.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="countries" id="countries" style="width:180px;"&gt;
  &lt;option value='us'&gt;United States&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value='gb'&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas, I've looked into cookies, but would appreciate some help with it.</p>
