I have a drop down menu working OK
here is the code

<td><label>Hull Construction
<select name="Hull Construction">
<option>Please select</option>
<option value="Aluminium">1</option>
<option value="Fibreglass">2</option>
<option value="Timber">3</option>
<option value="Steel">4</option>
</select>
</label></td>

My problem is how do I reset the menu when I load the page with the database
stored value
say timber being menu item 3. At the moment it always opens with "Please
select"

thanks
