How to store data after window.location?
<p>Below I have a vehicle dropdown that will pull the new options from text files. I have yet to find a way to save those selected TEXT values after the page changes to the correct category page. So ultimately I changed the dropdown into a div that will display the selected dropdown as text.</p>

<p>So how do I either..</p>

<p>A. keep the dropdown values and text values after the page reloads. </p>

<p>B. keep the selected text and proper div displays</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
