<select id="selId" name="selId">
    <option value="x" selected="selected">x</option>
    <option value="y">y</option>
</select>

Some people just use

    <option value="x" selected>x</option>
or
    <option value="x" selected="true">x</option>

but I prefer attrib="attrib" since that is HTML 4.01 compliant.  Refer to html 
and sgml docs on that...

Hi All,

I have did this before but now I cannot find my reference.

I have a list of states in an html user entry page.

<td>    <SELECT  NAME="Userstate">
<OPTION VALUE=""></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="AL">Alabama</OPTION>
        :
        :
        :
<OPTION VALUE="WY">Wyoming</OPTION>
</SELECT> </td>

After the user inputs their info and then they go back to review the previously entered data I want to be able to present the selected state that was previously selected and is now stored in
the database.

I thought it was something like the following:

<td>    <SELECT  NAME="Userstate" VALUE="#GetUser.Userstate#">
<OPTION VALUE=""></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="AL">Alabama</OPTION>
        :
        :
        :
<OPTION VALUE="WY">Wyoming</OPTION>
</SELECT> </td>

I want to present back to the user the previously selected state.

What am I missing?

Thanks to All
Ray
