Question

when loading my form (from variables) i can easily set the value of most text form items with the value tag like this:

<input type="text" name="fname" id="fname" value="<?php print "$fname";?>" />

how can i do the same with select input form elements? i guess i have to use a script?

thanks a lot

You have to add the selected attribute to the selected option, e.g.

<option value="foo" 
        <?php echo ($value=="foo") ? 'selected="selected"' : ''; ?> > 
    bar 
</option>
