The trick is to save the menu index in a cookie whenever it changes, and restore the cookie upon the page's reloading. We save the cookie when the right menu ("list") changes:

function load(form, name) {
    var url = form[name].options[form[name].selectedIndex].value;
    setCookie("listSelectedIndex", document.forms[0].list.selectedIndex);
    return false;
  }

Tomorrow, we'll show you how to retreive this cookie and index.
