Can not figure out how to make certain item appear to be selected in dynamic list/checkbox/yet worse - radio button ??? Yes, I clicked on "Select Value Equal To: " button with blizzard ad I selected the appropriate item from recordset.

But what happens in the browser - the label for the above item is just added at the bottom of the drop-down list, however the actual item remains unselected.
Source code of the resulting page:
<select name="height">
<option value="175">5' 9" - 175 cm </option>
<option value="178">5' 10" - 178 cm </option>
<option value="180">5' 11" - 180 cm </option>
<option value="183">6' 0" - 183 cm </option>
<option value="178" SELECTED>5' 10" - 178 cm</option>
</select>

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
Val

Hmm, I just copied that html into an htm file, and viewed it in a browser... it came up with that record selected.

What browser are you using?

I am using Explorer 5.0.
I hope I am clear:
<select name="height">
<option value="175">5' 9" - 175 cm </option>
"I want this to be selected:"
<option value="178">5' 10" - 178 cm </option>
<option value="180">5' 11" - 180 cm </option>
<option value="183">6' 0" - 183 cm </option>
"Not this:"
<option value="178" SELECTED>5' 10" - 178 cm</option>
</select>

Thanks Valentina
