is it possible to post part of a form after a dropdown item has been selected?

i have a form where the # of columns are determined by the user choice from a previous page. i also have a dropdown that posts the form and pop. another menu list.

the problem is that when this dropdown posts the form, the # of columns dissappear. I know i could append the URL to store the column # info, but i wanted to find out if there was a better/different way. i have seen forms that APPEAR to only post part of the form, but not sure if this is what is actually happening.


If anyone has an idea, i'd love to hear it!

THANKS!

Place the number of columns value into a hidden field so that it can post along with the form when the dropdown is activated.
