How do you get the selected option to be in view on page load?

```
<select name="whatever" size="5">  
    <option value="1">1</option>  
    <option value="2">2</option>  
    <option value="3">3</option>  
    <option value="4">4</option>  
    <option value="5">5</option>  
    <option value="6">6</option>  
    <option value="7" selected>7</option>  
    <option value="8">8</option>  
    <option value="9">9</option>  
    <option value="10">10</option>  
</select>

```
