   [web] Setting SELECT default choice
  If I have a script wih a SELECT-style dropdown menu and the user enters, let's say, an invalid e-mail address, and hits submit, I want to return back to the script with each field displaying what the user had entered previously. I can do this for text forms easily with value="<?php if isset(...), echo ...; ?>", but how do I do this with a SELECT/OPTION combo?   
<option selected>blah blah</option>See the specs for more information;  Thanks   ;  Newer browsers will require you to set the default selected tag as follows:<select><option selected="selected">stuff</option></select>;Quote:Original post by TesseractNewer browsers will require you to set the default selected tag as follows:<select><option selected="selected">stuff</option></select>Not newer browsers, newer doctypes. Namely xhtml.
