Please forgive my ignorance, but I've been trying to get the following =
snippet of code working for the past 3 days with no success. I'm simply =
try to set an <option> to selected in a loop. Here is the snippet of =
code:

[list]
[if value [value-extended name=3D"mv_searchspec" index=3D"0"] eq =
[loop-code]]
<OPTION selected VALUE=3D"[loop-code]">[loop-pos 1]
[else]
<OPTION VALUE=3D"[loop-code]">[loop-pos 1]
[/else]
[/if]
[/list]

This list populates a combo box with a list of states. I would like to =
default the selection to the current value of mv_searchspec.

Tom

Tom -

try it this way:

[seti spec][value-extended name=mv_searchspec index=0][/seti]
[list]
[if type=scratch term=spec op=eq compare="[loop-code]"]
...
[/if]
[/list]

..this assumes that [list] does something interative.

Ed -

Thanks, that fixed the problem! For future reference, could someone explain
why the original code doesn't work?

..syntax error. The correct form is [if value variable_name eq
some_value]. Your expression (above) is essentially [if value some_value
eq some_value] - not valid. The "value" type of if expects a variable name
for its term, not a variable value.
