That's the same for me, all DB values are lowercase but the SELECT
lists are mixed case. Here's how I do it. This is a completely
separate TT file which I [% PROCESS %]:
<select name="[%name%]" id="selector_status">
<option value=""> </option>
[% val = val | lower %]
[% FOREACH type IN status_list %]
[% ltype = type | lower %]
<option value="[% ltype %]" [%IF val==ltype; "selected=1"; END %]>
[% type | ucfirst %]
</option>
[% END #foreach.type %]
[% val = '' %]
</select>
And it is called like this:
[% PROCESS input/select_status.tt name = 'title_status' val =
"$titledata.first.title_status"
%]
with 'status_list' being a list in the stash grabbed from the DB.
