I am still having problems setting the select widget to the 3rd value in the
drop down list.
Looking further it seems that the html does not have the selected="selected"
value in any of the items.
The documentation states that if use a bound form you will see that in the html.
How would you go about getting the selected value in the html for a
choicefield. I tried the initial parameter in the choicefield and that does not
change which value is selected. It always happens to be the first in the list.
Any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

I must be missing something here because when I change the statement
to status = forms.ChoiceField(required=False, choices=statlist,
initial="choice3")
it still displays the 1st record in the list when I am trying to have the 3rd
choice be the selected
value.
