i'm using that script, the only problem, I can't find a way to make the
default selection of the CHILD'S selectedIndex
anyone has an idea how to do it ?

in the loop in populateDynaList, you'd just check to see if the value you just
used to create the new option was the default. If it is, you'd set a variable
(I used myIndex) to the current loop counter (i) and use this variable instead
of setting the selected index=0 at the end of the function. I haven't tested
it, but it would look something like this:

function populateDynaList(oList, nIndex, aArray){
myIndex=0; // initialze the variable
for (var i = 0; i < aArray.length; i= i + 3){
if (aArray == nIndex){
oList.options[oList.options.length] = new Option(aArray[i + 1], aArray[i +
2]);
if(oList.options[i+1].value == **defaultValue goes here**){
myIndex=i+1;
}
}
}

if (oList.options.length == 0){
oList.options[oList.options.length] = new Option("[none available]",0);
}
oList.selectedIndex = myIndex;

}
