[Zope] Setting SELECTED in select box

[Laurie Nason]

Have you tried checking to see if one of your 27's is a string and one is a 
number? I seem to remember that I had this problem before, if I find it I 
will let you know

BTW - you could make the Selected a little snazzier by doing the 
following.... saves on a few if statements

SELECT NAME="fileid" SIZE="1">
	<OPTION VALUE="0">-- Select mediafile --</OPTION>
	<dtml-in sqlGetMediafiles>
	    <dtml-if fileid>
		<OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>" 
			<dtml-if expr="fileid == id">SELECTED></dtml-if>>
				<dtml-var filename></OPTION>
	    </dtml-if>
	</dtml-in>
</SELECT>
