Drop Down menus

I am pulling information into a drop down menu from a database. How do I make it so the drop down menu is blank initially. In other words I don't want the dropdown menu to have an initial value.
 
Inserting a blank line is simple, just don't enter information and make that cell selected.
<SELECT>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;&quot; SELECTED></OPTION>
</SELECT

I assume that you are looping through a recordset to build the rest of the options.
 
Hi

The code for the drop-down should be something like this :

<SELECT>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;&quot; SELECTED></OPTION>
<%do while not rs.eof%>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;<%=rs(0)%>&quot; SELECTED><%=rs(0)%></OPTION>
<%rs.movenext
loop%>
</SELECT>

Hope this solves your problem :) *** ASP/VB/SQL Programmer (Free Lancing work accepted) *** B-)
