[ic] Can I use the selected tag testing with a scratch variable?

[Ed LaFrance]

Well, you just need to go into troubleshooting mode now.  What value is 
output by the tag [value-extended layer_two_select_one]?  Is it what you 
expect? Put it on your middle.html page and find out.  How about [selected 
name="layer_two_select_one" value="manuf a"] on middle.html, then select 
that option in your form?  What exactly did you see at //some text - was it 
the value you selected on the previous page, is it what you are trying to 
qualify?
