[Zope] how to select selected optoin: newbie

[Jase Oldham]

Chris/Jeremy,

Thanks so much. The final code is below-there was a
small typo with a redundant tal: item.

<SELECT name="country">
<OPTION tal:repeat="world here/getCountryMethod"
        tal:attributes="selected
python:world.country==request.get('country')" 
        tal:content="world/country">
</OPTION>
</SELECT>

The python i see here accesses the db and iterates
through the list (tuples?) and sets the selected to
the equiv request value via the ==request.get 

Is that correct? im a bit new to python tal and zope.

Jase
