Because you have made an HTML markup error with the OPTION element. You
are missing the 'displayed' text...

<option value="parsedValue">Displayed Value</option>

Your code:
> <?php
> if($_SESSION['title'] != "") {
> echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'"
> selected="selected"></option>';
> }

Needs to be:

if($_SESSION['title'] != "") {
echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'"selected="selected">' .
$_SESSION['title'] .'</option>'; }
....

Take care,
