I assume you're using php & MySQL

<option value = '2' SELECTED>Ms</option>

That would probably be a bad assumption since those look like Struts tags. ;)

You have to compare the value of each option to the value from the database and add the selected or selected="selected" attribute to the matching tag. It's something that is easier for me to do with scriptlets than with custom tags.
