I'm trying to set the default value for a select form element created programatically but whatever I try fails. Jeff, your simplified version of the code looks correct and should be working properly.

Instead of refreshing the page, try just clicking the url and pressing ENTER. Browsers save some form information and display it again on page reload F5. I've fallen for this numerous times myself.

I've actually turned off the cache with the same results and if I look at the source code none of the options have the selected attribute. I actually can't render the complete form as I am dynamically loading these elements in an existing form. This would cause nested form elements.

Something to check, look at the generated HTML. What does the html for the select look like, in particular the option tag for what should be the default item?

How can I used the selected list to be kept selected such as this via Onchange Jump Menu? Thanks, but it's still no luck. Does the onChange, might caused this?

I read somewhere regarding. Try double quotes around the value instead of single quotes.

Maybe it has to do with how yuriy. Maybe it has to do with how you're rendering the form Something to check, look at nevets commented 17 July at Something to check, look at jrigby commented 17 July at It does not add the selected attribute.
