pre-select in option

[thomas wilson]

How can one highlight the last pre-selection in a dynamic list? Thank you


<%
for( int i = 0 ; i < arraylist.size() ; i++ ) {
%>
<option value="<%= arraylist.get( i ).toString() %>"><%= arraylist.get( i ).toString() %></option>
<%
}
%>

<%
for( int i = 0 ; i < arraylist.size() ; i++ ) {
%>

<option value="<%= arraylist.get( i ).toString() %>"
<% // add the condition to check if this entry is the selected one%>
SELECTED = "SELECTED"
>
<%= arraylist.get( i ).toString() %>
</option>
