Currency Dropdown in Header Problem

[desiredin]

I put some code up into my header to allow put the currency drop-down to stay there instead of on the side column. Everything works for showing the different currencies. But I have a few problems.

 

1: When a customer changes categories for the products, it reverts back to the default currency.

 

2: In the dropdown, it doesn't show what currency is selected. It shows only the default currency.

 

<?php
   echo '<form name="currencies" action="" method="get"><select name="currency" onChange="this.form.submit();" style="width: 120"><option value="USD">US Dollar</option><option value="EUR">Euro</option><option value="CAD" SELECTED>Canadian Dollar</option><option value="AUD">Australian Dollar</option><option value="GBP">British Pound</option></select></form>';
   ?>

 

Can someone give me a hand with this please? I'd be much appreciative.

Anyone able to give me any hints on this one?
