Option selected

[Ram Raju]

Hi All,

I am displaying few values in a List box. I would like to put first
item as selected by default.
i.e <option value="some value" selected>Name</option>

Here is my code.

<SELECT size=15 id=select1 name=select1>
<% do while not Rs.EOF %>
<Option value=<%=Rs("va lue")%>><%= Rs("Name") %></Option>
<%
Rs.MoveNext
loop
%>
</SELECT>


Can anybody please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Re: Option selected

The first item will be selected by default, will it not? What happens when
you load the page?

You could use some sort of flag to indicate that it's the first item. Also,
you should surround your attribute values in quotes.

<select size="15" id="select1" name="select1">
<%
Dim firstOption
firstOption = True

Do While Not Rs.EOF
Response.Write "<option value=""" & Rs("value") & """"
If firstOption = True Then
Response.Write " selected"
firstOption = False
End If
Response.Write ">" & Rs("Name") & "</option>"
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
%>
</select>

Hope this helps.

Re: Option selected

Do you mean when the form is posted, you want to display the value selected
in the Select box?


<%
Do while not rs.eof
Response.write "<option value=""" & RS.Fields("valu e").value &
""""
if RS.Fields("valu e").value=Reque st.form("select 1") then
Response.write " selected"
end if
Response.write ">" & RS.Fields("Name ") & "</option>" & vbCrlf
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
%>
