fd:selection-list selected item
Hi List.
How to set up default item within fd:selection-list (HTML equivalent is
<option selected/>)?

see the Cocoon Forms examples, here the flowscript (= controller) of the
carselector:
function selectCar() {
var form = new Form("forms/carselector_form.xml");
form.lookupWidget("make").setValue(cocoon.parameters.defaultMake);
form.showForm("carselector-display-pipeline.jx");
cocoon.request.setAttribute("carselectorform", form.getWidget());
cocoon.sendPage("carselector-success-pipeline.xsp");
}
What do you use as controller? Flowscript, Actions, Apples?

It's NOT the concern of the presentation layer to set the values of a wdiget.
IMHO this is an absolute DON'T as it introduces side-effects (presentationlayer
changes the data model). Try to set the widget value using the controller. I
guess this will solve your problem.
Also make sure that the set value is equal to the key of the item of the
selection list.

It does not work for me.
I'm using cocoon-2.1.6, that's why I guess.
Anyway - I've set widget value (in the template), and it works fine,
except that <select> widget does not displays selected value.
<jx:if test="${cocoon.request.getParameter('user-type')}">
${form.lookupWidget('registration_type').setValue
(cocoon.request.getParameter('user-type'))}
</jx:if>
Any suggestions?

You have to set the value of the widget. AFAIK there is a new, undocumented fd:
element: <fd:initial-value>...</>. Of course you can access the widget in the
controller and set the value there using the cForms API.
Of course you have to make sure that the value you set is part of the selection
list.
