Dynamic List Child Box - Selecting Inital Value

[virtual1]

I have implemented the method of creating dynamic lists from
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_19117[/url] . The list values are pulled from a
database to create a parent list called Main Categories and create a child list
to called Sub Categories. As the selection in the parent list changes the
child list changes accordingly. However, when I am setting the initial values
for the parent and child box, based on individual user profile values in the
database, I can only set the initial value for the parent box. The child box
updates the list properly, but it will not select an initial value, it just
defaults to the first entry in the list. How should I modify the code to allow
for a 'Selected' value in the child list? Thanks!
