I have noticed with the default values
that you need to leave the form page and return to get it to load the new
default values. A refresh of the screen won’t work. I believe it is how
the Forms API functions, only looking for the default values for the initial
form display, and any reload after that it is looking for values from a
previous POST.

How to add "selected" attribute to select list <option>tag]
Hi Steve,
I just tested the code in firefox and it works. Maybe it is a browser
compliancy issue?
Two of the names are displayed as selected initially.
