Two suggestions: 1. It looks like there is no space between the <option tag start and the "selected" key word. The HTML is probably there, just not getting rendered as <optionSelected is not a valid tag.
2. Try selected="true"... Its slightly more standards compliant. Probalby not the issue though. ......................
