[Zope] Setting SELECTED in select box

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Gitte,

bad idea to use "id" for this, you are probably running into
a namespace-problem.

To check this, just give out the content of "id" with
<dtml-var id>

id is probably the id of your document or folder.
Try to find an other identifier which is not used by zope itself.

Regards
Tino Wildenhain
