Re: [web2py] REF: Setting the selected option attribute
Or you can do:
OPTION(value_, _value=key_, _selected=key_ == selected)
That will result in selected=selected when key_ == selected and no
selected attribute in the HTML otherwise.
Even easier, though, is to let the SELECT helper handle this for you by
specifying it's value argument (which automatically sets the option with
that value as selected):
SELECT(get_drop_down_option9(options), value='dad')
In that case, you can simplify get_drop_down_options9() so it doesn't set
the selected attribute, as that will be done by the SELECT helper.
