Hi there,<br />
<br />
Is there any way to use the SELECTED or CHECKED attribute in the OPTION element while remaining XHTML valid?<br />
<br />
...or is there a simple javascript way around the problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

XML does not support attribute minimization. Attribute-value pairs must be written in full. Attribute names such as compact and checked cannot occur in elements without their value being specified.<br />
<br />
CORRECT: unminimized attributes<br />
<br />
<dl compact="compact"><br />
<br />
INCORRECT: minimized attributes<br />
<br />
<dl compact><br />
