[SOLVED] Dropdown - Default Value

[colouredFunk]

Hello,

 

I want to be able to have a drop down list that doesn't necessarily have the first item as the default. The content is being populated by PHP so I have no idea how to do it.

 

Please help.

 

thanks.

Example

 

<select name="select">

<?php

for($i=0;$i<100;$i++){

  if($i == $default_value){

  $selected = "selected";

  }else{

  $selected = "";

  }

 

?>

<option value="<?php echo $i;?>" <?php echo $selected;?>><?php echo $i;?></option>

<? }

?>

</select>

Hi there,

if I understood your requirements correctly...I am not sure if you can do this or not...but you can add an empty line as your first option.

 

maybe some else knows the answer
