selected option in option tag not displayed in window

[eswhite]

Hello All,

I have a web page that includes a list box with multiple items to choose from. I use the tag:

<option>selected=&quot;option_name&quot;>option_name</option>

to highlight a default selection (Or the user's last selection from an earlier session as read from a cookie). Users are allowed to chose multiple items. If I specify this option in the select tag:

<select name=&quot;Division&quot; multiple>

and the user chooses a single option further down in the list box, the highlighted option is not shown the next session. The listbox scrolls to the selected item when I do not specify multiple.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Eric

try this...

<option selected=&quot;option_name&quot;>option_name</option>

I'm sorry, it is like this:

<option value=&quot;option_name&quot; selected>option_name</option>

Thanks for the reply. I tried the different approach but still got the same result.
