How to set default selected element in combobox? Neither of the following worked for me:
Version 3:
<select id="parent">
<option value='null'>(Root)</option>
<option selected='yes' value='/'>Main</option>
</select>
Version 2:
<select id="parent">
<option value='null'>(Root)</option>
<option selected='true' value='/'>Main</option>
</select>
Version 1:
<select id="parent">
<option value='null'>(Root)</option>
<option selected value='/'>Main</option>
</select>
In all cases first option is selected on page, not that one which is marked selected.
