My current method is to loop through the data in the controller and
convert it to a dictionary:
[code]
cat_select = []
cats = list(NewsCat.select())
for cat in cats:
cat_option = {'value': cat.id, 'content': cat.name}
if cat.id == article.category.id:
cat_option['selected'] = True
else:
cat_option['selected'] = None
cat_select.append(cat_option)
[/code]
Then, in my .kid I have the following:
[code]
<option py:for="cat in categories" value="${cat['value']}"
py:content="cat['content']" py:attrs="selected=cat['selected']">
An Option
</option>
[/code]
That way, when kid evaluates cat['selected'], if it's none the
SELECTED attribute is simply dumped.
