Re: questions

Hello again,
I am having problems with the <f:select> tag and having a particular 
value selected on a page. Basically what I want to do is have the day 
that is in a particular row of a database selected in the drop down 
menu. Is there a way for me to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
MJ
PS sorry for any bounced email, the email address I use is a valid one 
as it is a work address. I have no idea why this would happen.
