Default date in select options

[dom24]

Hi,

I'm creating a room booking system and so far I have 3 drop down menus at the top of the screen where the user can select the day, month and year.
I have hard coded the dates so that they can be written to the database when required, rather than add every date to the database and pull them back.

I want the date to dispaly the current date when the user opens the page. Does anyone know how I can set the Selected Values of the Option so that is will use today's day, month and year?

Thanks.

For today...

<%=Year(Now())%> returns 2005
<%=Month(Now())%> returns 1
<%=Day(Now())%> returns 21
<%=MonthName(Month(Now())%> returns January
<%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(Now())) %> returns Friday

use these for option values in your drop down list...

The only thing wit that is that rather than it add the day, month or year to the drop down list, I want it to select the value automatically from the options.
Is this possible?

Currently I have:

<SELECT NAME="day">
<OPTION SELECTED Value=<%=day(Now())%>><%=day(Now())%>
<OPTION>1
etc............

and the list shows

21
1
2
3
4
5
etc.....

I want it to just select "21" from the list.
