drop down dynamic list set initial value

[xren]

Hi,

I have a dynamic list from a table.

I build the list on my before page script. I also need to set the initial value to one of the item in the list.
e.g. dropdown list country. country_id is the list, display the country name.
after I build the list, I set country_id = xxx and country name=xxx_name
but after page is displayed it displays the first item in the list not the one I set in the script.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks,
Xiaoli

You have to set the value on the field to which the list is attached. If your list is on the country_id field, you must set the value on this field, and the value should be the exactly the same as the corresponding country_id in the list.
