drop down box selected value

crmpicco · March 31st, 2005, 09:31 AM

I have a drop-down menu:

Code:

<select name="clas" tabindex="6" STYLE="color: black; font: 8pt Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
                        <option value="1">First</option>
                        <option value="2">Business</option>
                        <option value="3">Economy</option>
                        <option value="4">Premium Economy</option>                                            
                    </select>

I have a asp variable with a value of either 1,2,3 or 4.

How to i set the SELECTED value as the one that matches the ASP variable value.

e.g.

Code:

theclass = request("class")
response.Write "the class = "&theclass&"<br>"

gives me 3. How do i make <option value="3">Economy</option> the selected value?
