HTML SELECT form default selected

Posted by netfreak, 12-26-2007, 02:30 AM

So here's my problem... I need to auto fill a drop down menu using the value from a PHP variable. The variable contains the actual number of the option. I haven't seen a way to add the value into the SELECT tag to set the default selected option, only adding the "selected" into the individual OPTION tag... Is there a way around this? Or, is there another method I should be using?

may be u must employ a mysql database and do a condition check to list the select box with default selected

No, you only have to use "selected" within OPTION tag. There is not another trick to work around. Regards, Luis Berumen
