Pre-select in form select field

[Sliver]

Hi, is there a way to pre-select an item in an Select field?

Lets say i have an $currentCity=3;
Is it then possible to show the site with item 3 in the select box selected?

I've tried so many things but I cant get it to work 🙁

<form ACTION="index.php"  method="post" name"current">
<td width="140" align="center" valign="middle">
     Current City:<BR> 
     <select name="currentCity">
     <?
	while ($tellerCity < $num_rowsCity)
	{	
		$city=mysql_result($resultCity, $tellerCity, "name");
		print"<option value=\"$tellerCity\" name=\"currentCity\">$city\n";
		$tellerCity++;
	}
	$tellerCity=0;
     ?>
     </select>
</td>
<td width="33" align="center" valign="middle">
     <input type="submit" name="subCurrent" value="Go"></td>
</form>

You dont have to put "name" in <option> tag because it gets the name from <select> allready. Anyway, use SELECTED attribute to preselect option. This is quite basic stuff. One good source for HTML-info is http://www.htmlhelp.com. There you can see which attributes you can use etc.

<form ACTION="index.php"  method="post" name"current"> 
<td width="140" align="center" valign="middle"> 
     Current City:<BR> 
     <select name="currentCity"> 
	<? 
	while ($tellerCity < $num_rowsCity) 
	{     

		$city=mysql_result($resultCity, $tellerCity, "name");
		print"<option value=\"$tellerCity\"";
		if ($tellerCity==3)
			print ' SELECTED';
		print ">$city</option>\n"; 
		$tellerCity++; 
	} 
	$tellerCity=0; 
	?> 
     </select> 
</td> 
<td width="33" align="center" valign="middle"> 
     <input type="submit" name="subCurrent" value="Go"></td> 
</form>
