[Zope] HTML Selected not working

[Farrell, Troy]

You can't use dtml inside dtml.
You probably mean:

<td>
<select name="Type">
<option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Call'">selected</dtml-if>>
  Call
</option>
<option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Meeting'">selected</dtml-if>>
  Meeting
</option>
<option <dtml-if expr="_['Type'] == 'Letter'">selected</dtml-if>>
  Letter
</option></select>
</td>

I am trying to make a value from an SQL query the selected one from an 
HTML option list.  But the following doesn't work and I can't see why.

<td>
<select name="Type">                                                    
<option <dtml-if expr="'<dtml-var Type>'=='Call'">SELECTED</dtml-if>>   
      Call
<option <dtml-if expr="'Meeting'=='<dtml-varType>'">SELECTED</dtml-if>> 
       Meeting                                                          
<option <dtml-if expr="'<dtml-var Type>'=='Letter'">SELECTED</dtml-if>> 
       Letter
</option></select>
</td>

<td><select name="Priority">                              
<option <dtml-if expr="'<dtml-var Priority>'=='1'">SELECTED</dtml-if>>  
   1
<option <dtml-if expr="'<dtml-var Priority>'=='2'">SELECTED</dtml-if>> 
   2                                                                
</option></select>
</td>                                          
 

Any thoughts ?
