the 'SELECTED' attribute will select an item in a dropdown list.
by default, with no SELECTED attribute, the first item will be shown and
selected.
make sense?

Subject: [PHP] Dynamic Drop-down list
I create a Drop-down from a DB table. All works as expected *except*
the default item (the one showing to the surfer) is the last in the
list. Is there a way I can have the first item show?
Todd
/* Make a drop-down */
function make_dropdown($ddName, $itemList, $first) {
if (count($itemList)) {
echo("<SELECT NAME=" . $ddName . ">");
if ($first) {
echo('<OPTION VALUE="**" SELECTED>' . $first);
};
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($itemList)) {
echo('<OPTION VALUE="' . $key . '" SELECTED>' . $val);
};
echo("</SELECT>");
};
};
