selecting a default option in a drop down list

[vimal]

hi all,

i am still a learner in javascript

i have a select tag with options as follows:

<select>
<option py:for="mb in range(32,100)">${mb}</option>
</select>

which dynamically generates numbers ranging from 32 to 100

and if i want the list to show the value "50" when the page is loaded
what should be done

thanks in advance,

Set the appropriate option element's selected property to true.

Set the appropriate option element's selected property to true.

no if we r having a manual entry.....
like
<select> or (.selected="true")-->in javascript
<option>vimal</option>
<option>sanjay</option>
<option selected="selected">ajay</option>
<option>someone</option>
</select>


in this case we know the options
but i want to select the cases i which the options are unknown
that is they r generated dynamically

If you don't know what option you want to select, it doesn't matter how
you go about doing it, you don't know which one to select.

I guess you need to loop through the existing options and whichever ones
have their selected property set to true, set them to false. Or remove
them.

Then use whatever logic appeals to you to set the selected property of
one or more to true.
