To set the default option for an HTML Select box all you have to do is add &quot;selected&quot; to the &lt;option&gt; tag like this:<br />
<br />
&lt;select name=&quot;something&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;value1&quot;&gt;Value1&lt;/opt<wbr />ion&gt;<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;value2&quot; selected&gt;Value2&lt;/option&gt;<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;value3&quot;&gt;Value3&lt;/opt<wbr />ion&gt;<br />
&lt;/select&gt;

Yes I already use a dynamic list ^^<br />
<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;1&quot; &lt;?php echo (($row['position']==1? ' selected ': '')) ?&gt;&gt;CEO&lt;/option&gt;<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;2&quot; &lt;?php echo (($row['position']==2? ' selected ': '')) ?&gt;&gt;Manager&lt;/option&gt;<br />
<br />
This is what does it right? <br />
Whichever item is in the DB will show selected and the rest wont.<br />
