tal:atrributes problem

23 Mar 2005

      I've got to set the particular item selected in a dropdown list 
which was in the request object.this is fetched by reloading the 
page.

i've a var 'distname' which holds wat has been selected

<body tal:define="distname request/form/districtname|nothing" 
onload="foc()">

wen i use this in my option tag of the list with the attribute tag 
nothing happens.

<option tal:content="district/district_name" 
tal:attributes="selected distname"></option>

i guess coz the 'selected' attribute don take any values.
so how do do it?
