I still think I am not quite explaining my problem very well.
In a dropdown list of say 3 state codes I wish to default the selected value
to "AK" this being the second value in the list.
Therefore the value of the dropdown list field is defaulted to "AK".
Is this possible within Woody? How do I select a value "in the list" as the
default/selected?
<!-- A typical scenario is where a country dropdown list lists all countries
but defaults to "USA". This is very common behaviour -->
