thanz!That was the case of a constant..whats the case of variable? like now incase its a counter variable i need to show as default selected in a drop down box or the selected value changes dynamically according to some conditon....for example now i need to print a for loop counter variable's value as the selected option if a condition satisfies..

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<SELECT NAME=\"choice\" >")
for (var counter=0; counter<10;counter++)
{
if(counter==6)
{<!-- display as selected option-->
 }
else
{ <!-- display as an option in the dropdown box-->
}
}
document.write("</SELECT>");

</script>

then:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<SELECT NAME=\"choice\" >")
for (var counter=0; counter<10;counter++)
{
if(counter==6)
{
document.write("<OPTION VALUE=\""+counter+"\" selected>"+counter+"</OPTION >");
 }
else
{ document.write("<OPTION VALUE=\""+counter+"\">"+counter+"</OPTION >");
}
}
document.write("</SELECT>");

</script>
