Ooh... this one hurts.. (o8

You have to put "SELECTED" on the 'option' tag you want to be default.
This means iterating over your list with something like:

dtml-in CountryList
  option dtml-if "_['sequence-item']==custcountry" SELECTED/dtml-if 
value="dtml-var sequence-item"dtml-var sequence-item
/dtml-in

If you don't already have the country list in an object somewhere, I 
recommend adding a "lines" type property to either that object, or an 
appropriate folder, and put them in there.


And remember... if "custcountry" doesn't exist.. this will break... do 
putting a:

dtml-unless custcountry
  dtml-call "REQUEST.set('custcountry',' ')"
/dtml-unless

at the top of the page won't hurt.

 select name="custcountry" size="1" tabindex="9" style="HEIGHT: 22px;
 WIDTH: 293px"

 option value="."selectedPlease select a country/option

 option value="Australia"Australia/option
 option value="Cambodia"Cambodia/option
 option value="Canada"Canada/option

8 *snip* 8

 /select

 Thank You!


Have a better one,

You don't have to, as soon as one option is selected you're variable
custcountry gets the value from option value="Canada" and the text
between option value="Canada" and /option is being displayed.

option value="Canada"Canada/option
^ ^

If you have you're countries in a database you can let sql generate an
option list in stead of typing all the options. Something like this:

select name="custcountry"
  dtml-in "select_country(REQUEST)"
  option value='dtml-var country_field'dtml-var country_field/option
  /dtml-in
/select

Where select_country is a sql-method like:

select
country_field
from COUNTRY

select name="custcountry" size="1" tabindex="9" style="HEIGHT: 22px;

option value="."selectedPlease select a country/option
  
option value="Australia"Australia/option
option value="Cambodia"Cambodia/option
option value="Canada"Canada/option
option value="China"China/option
option value="Colombia"Colombia/option
[...]
option value="United States"United States/option
/select
