Populate Dropdown Via Loop..Need Middle choice selected.

[NetworkAdmin123]

Hi,
I'm populating an option box with 5 fields via a loop from a database. I need field 3 to be the selected field. How do I do this since I'm using a loop.

You haven't said what server-side language you're using, so I'll assume it's server-side ASP written in Javascript.

You'd use something like:

<%
var recordCount = 0;
var selectedStr = '';
%>
<select...>
<%
while (!rs.EOF)
{
   recordCount++;
   selectedStr = (recordCount == 3) ? 'selected' : '';
%>
   <option value="<%=rs('code').value%>"<%selectedStr%>><%=rs('name').value%></option>
<%
   rs.MoveNext();
}
%>
</select>

Hope this helps,
Dan

The language I'm using is PL/SQL doing PSP pages.

What is PSP?

I'm sure you can adapt the example I've given for your own use, anwyay...

Hope this helps,
