[ic] Inconsistent selected tag behaviour

Fri Jan 11 09:54:00 2002

I have three selects in my form and on a submit form validation error the first select
always correctly displays the peviously remembered option. The other two are identical
to the first select. The second and the third one only sometimes remembers. 
This is the way its documented in ictags and so should work. If anyone wants to try 
reproduce this here is a page you could cut and past to csc_iceg.html

Anyone know why? Seems to be a bug

Another thing - if I put my profile in profiles.order it doesn't get found even after
restarting the interchange server.
