Dear List,

Converting from MV 3.14-5 to IC 4.6.

Ok, I have a country select box on its own page in my multi-page checkout
process.

Here's the old relevant code:

[default name="b_country" default="US" set="1"]
<select mv="loop"
			mv.prepend="[sort country:name]"
			mv.search="ra=yes/se=./fi=country.asc/ml=700"
			mv.option="b_country"
			name="b_country">
			<option value="[loop-code]"> [loop-data country name]
</select>

Here's the new relevant code:
[default name="b_country" set="US"]
<select name="b_country">
[loop option=country search="
 ra=yes
 fi=country
 st=db
 rf=code,name
 ml=700
 tf=name
"]
<option value="[loop-code]"> [loop-data country name]
[/loop]
</select>

The problem is I want US to come up as the default option on the list.  The
old version worked, the new one doesnt.

Any ideas on how to set a default value for a drop down list?

Thanks,

Russ
