[support] How to add "selected" attribute to select list <option>tag

[Greg Holsclaw]

Make the #default_value an array of the keys of the options you want
selected.

$form['item'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
...
'#options' => array of all options,
'#default_value' => array of keys from above options.
...
);

Check
http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api_reference.html
/5#default_value for more info.

Subject: [support] How to add "selected" attribute to select list
<option>tag

Well, I'm back again, and this time I have a question about attributes
for select options in a form.  I have a form that has a 
select element (multi-select) that lists users.  The form is for some
admin settings for a module.  When the form is displayed, I 
need to be able to highlight specific options in the list based on data
returned from a query.  I've been looking all day, and 
haven't been able to figure it out.  There is the #attribute key, but it
is for the field as whole (at least as far as I can 
determine), and doesn't work for each individual <option> tag.

If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Steve
