Select a default value in select box when calling values form external xml file

System

Hi,

I have to populate my select box using values from external xml file.

When the user tries to edit the existing dcr the values in the select box should be selected accordingly based on previous selection kindly advise how to do in form api

I have posted my code below kindly advise

[html]
if (L1parent_selected==pageid_arr)
{ newOptions=new Option(pagetitle_arr,pageid_arr,true,true);
}
else
{
newOptions=new Option(pagetitle_arr,pageid_arr,false,false);
}
var test = IWDatacapture.getItem("/infrastructure/content/L1Parent");
test.setOptions(newOptions);
IWDatacapture.redraw();

[/html]

L1parent_selected is the variable which stores my previous selection which is a page id.pageid_arr is the array which stores the values from the external xml.

Thanks
