Question

I have the following code:

<td>
    <select class="versionSelect">
       <option value="5" <?php if($item->version === "5") echo "selected='selected'"; ?>>5</option>
       <option value="6" <?php if($item->version === "6") echo "selected='selected'"; ?>>6</option>
       <option value="7" <?php if($item->version === "7") echo "selected='selected'"; ?>>7</option>
    </select>
                    </td>

The resulting HTML is this:

 <select class="versionSelect">
     <option value="5">5</option>
     <option selected="selected" value="6">6</option>
     <option value="7">7</option>
 </select>

and yet when the page loads, the select element is still on 5. How is this possible?

Sometimes just refresh doesn’t work, you must leave page and return, strange select behaviour in some browsers
