<-- Cross=posted on DW Application Development forum-- >

Hi!

I hope I can explain this situation halfway decently...

I am creating a DW Object that captures specific metadata. In this case, in
the form I have a HTML <SELECT> list of languages. When the language metadata
attribute is first captured in the form, the application adds the metadata

<meta name=language content="EN">

to the DW document correctly.

Now suppose the user wants to update their metadata.in order to change the
language attribute. I would like the metadata form when it redisplays to have
"EN" selected in the language attribute, so that the user knows what the
current value of the language attribute is. If the user changes the language
attribute to,say, Japanese, the next time the metadata form displays, I would
like have "JP" selected in the form, again so the user knows what the current
value of the attribute is.

I looked at several of the well-known metadata extensions for DW, but none of
them exhibit the behavior I am looking for (usually they have English as the
default in the form)

This is probably easy, but I am just not seeing it. Thanks for any help!
