What is the correct way to have the option tag default value set in IE6?
I've tried doing
<option SELECTED>
<option selected='selected'>
<option selected='true'>
none of them work in ie6, any ideas?

A:
Depends on the doctype. If HTML, then you need
<option value="value1" selected>label1</option>
If XHTML (i.e. HTML massaged into XML flavor), then you need
<option value="value1" selected="selected">label1</option>
If still in vain, then the problem lies somewhere else. You'll need to post an SSCCE then, for example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2073877</title>
</head>
<body>
<select>
<option value="value1">label1</option>
<option value="value2" selected>label2</option>
<option value="value3">label3</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
This shows "label2" as selected option in all browsers, including IE6.
