Re: [PHP] why is <option '97' selected>Japan</option> not highlighted

FireFox may be "remembering" whatever you last selected.

That's a browser "feature" you have to live with.

Move along, nothing to see here :-)

Here is the offending code (abbreviated)

<option value='94' >Italy</option>
<option value='97' selected>Japan</option>
<option value='252' >Jersey</option>
<option value='294' >Jiangsu</option>
<option value='295' >Jiangxi</option>

I have data series which have a location specified. I wish to edit
the
data series. I select the location from the database (Note: database
stuff is not a problem) and display a scrolling list with the location
specified by that data series highlighted. Problem is, even though
the
option is marked selected, the Japan entry in the scrolling list does
not highlight.

The offending page may be viewed at

Sometimes when it loads, Japan is highlighted correctly. Sometimes
nothing is highlighted. Sometimes some random option in the list is
highlighted. Similar behavior is observed in the data series types
scrolling list next to the locations list on the page.

I have been using Firefox 2.0.0.3. I just tried it out on IE7 and it
seems to work OK. Maybe it is a browser problem, but the XDynamic
HTML
Definitive Reference seems to say that the selected attribute on
option
works OK with mozilla.
