Question

I am creating a like this:

<select name="id" id="id">
    <OPTION VALUE="null">Select<OPTION>
    <? foreach ($genres as $row){ ?>
        <OPTION VALUE="<? echo $row->id; ?>"><? echo utf8_encode($row->name); ?></OPTION>
    <?
       }
    ?>
</select>

I am using the $_GET to check for a value on the URL and then just take it and with that value I have to pre-select the option in the select menu, any ideas how to do this? I’m unsure of how to do it via javascript (or even if it would be more complicated).

Answer 1

just use

selected="selected" 

on your pre-selected option
