Do you often find yourself making <select> objects over and over but then want to populate the "selected" part of the option statement automatically? Well, this tag is for you. I wrote this because I'm tried of hand-coding it all the time. I guess a more complex version could be made that would add the ability to have different values with the display value, but this works for most cases.

Parameters

-name string, required name of the select statement
-values string, required values of the items in <option> seperated by a pipe " | "
-current string, required The current value to be selected in the select list.

Sample Usage

Usage:

-name is the name of the select statement
-values is the values list of the options
-current is the current value

[selection_box: -name='subscribe', -values='Yes|No', -current='Yes']
