SELECT case

[TheCandyman]

If i have a select like below, when a page is loaded and i have a variable, how can i make the dropdown start on option 2 or 3, not default 1??


<SELECT class=saveHistory id=m1 name=m1>
<option>Select Choice</option>
<option value=&quot;OPvalue&quot;>Operator Stations</option>
<option value=&quot;UNvalue&quot;>Universal Stations</option>
</SELECT>

Hi,

You will want to put the word &quot;SELECTED&quot; into one of the <OPTION> tags for it to show a different selection rather than the first. You will want to use which ever programming language you use to determine that and which option should be selected.

Hope this helps!

Use the SELECTED attribute in the OPTION tags. To have the second item in the SELECT list display automatically, the code would look like so:

<SELECT class=saveHistory id=m1 name=m1>
<option>Select Choice</option>
<option value=&quot;OPvalue&quot; SELECTED>Operator Stations</option>
<option value=&quot;UNvalue&quot;>Universal Stations</option>
</SELECT>

For the third option:

<SELECT class=saveHistory id=m1 name=m1>
<option>Select Choice</option>
<option value=&quot;OPvalue&quot;>Operator Stations</option>
<option value=&quot;UNvalue&quot; SELECTED>Universal Stations</option>
</SELECT>

Etc, etc.

HTH,
