[thelist] Some more simple JavaScript

[Chris Kavanagh]

Dear list,

I tried to Google for this but it didn't work out.  In this form I have 
a selectable list that contains all the months, like so:

<select size="1" name="Month">
           <option value="01">Jan</option>
           <option value="02">Feb</option>
           <option value="03">Mar</option>
           <option value="04">Apr</option>
           <option value="05">May</option>
           <option value="06">Jun</option>
           <option value="07">Jul</option>
           <option value="08">Aug</option>
           <option value="09">Sep</option>
           <option value="10">Oct</option>
           <option value="11">Nov</option>
           <option value="12">Dec</option>
</select>

I'd like the current month to be initially selected, and I need to use 
JavaScript to do it.  I managed to figure out how to get the current 
month by virtue of some JavaScript:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
	var now = new Date();
		var thisYear = now.getYear();
		var thisMonth = now.getMonth();
		var thisHour = now.getHours();
		var thisMinute = now.getMinutes();
</SCRIPT>

But where do I go from here?  I guess I need to put something like this 
in each <option> tag:

if thisYear = 1, then "selected"

Is this doable?  Sorry I'm such a Java noob.  It's all kinda alien to 
me, but I am trying.

Thanks!
CK.
