in reply to SELECT pop-up menus in HTML::Template

I had the same problem, and came up with a bit of a cludge to fix it. Unfortunatly it uses javascript. 

<script>
   function cbo_sel(val, cbo) {
      for (var i = 0; i < cbo.options.length; i++) {
         if (cbo.options[i].value == val) {
            cbo.selectedIndex = i;
            return;
         }
      }
   }
</scipt>

And then in the <body> tag: 

<body onLoad="cbo_sel('<TMPL_VAR NAME=BLAH>', document.forms[0][1])">

[download]

I couldn't think of anything better, I have quite a few combo boxes on the same page. It makes the template and the perl code cleaner but I know it isn't the best solution.

I'd love to find a workable alternative.
