ok...i have an existing html form that have a number of fields..one being a dropdown specialty list.
the form does a get to an aspx datagrid written in c# (i did not write this and i need to only modify it until i have time to redo the entire thing so please dont say its all wrong, i know lol)

the filter for the specialty is a loop statement using if...
Code:
if (Server.HtmlEncode(arr1[loop1])=="specialty")
...
