So here's my problem... I need to auto fill a drop down menu using the value from a PHP variable. The variable contains the actual number of the option. I haven't seen a way to add the value into the SELECT tag to set the default selected option, only adding the "selected" into the individual OPTION tag... Is there a way around this? Or, is there another method I should be using?

may be u must employ a mysql database and do a condition check to list the select box with default selected :agree:

No, you only have to use "selected" within OPTION tag. There is not another trick to work around.
