I have a time drop down selection and i want to keep the selected value after the submit button has been pressed. Html here
As mentioned in the comment above unless you're storing the value in a database and pulling that out each time your best bet would be either a cookie or localstorage. Personally I've found localstorage to be easier to work with and unless you need IE7 support you should be fine to use that.

You could try something like this (untested):
// On submit
var pickupdatehour = $('#pickupdatehour').val()
localStorage.setItem('storedPickup', pickupdatehour);
// On the pages that have the select box
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var loadedPickup = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('storedPickup'));
$('#pickupdatehour').val(loadedPickup);
});
Edit: Sorry missed that it was name not ID in your select box. Use the select[name=pickupdatehour]
instead of the #pickupdatehour as a selector.
