  • When you say 'select' the value, how exactly do you want to select it? With PHP? .NET? Python? JavaScript? HTML has no ability to 'select' per se; it just displays content from the DOM. Considering you're using a database, regardless of the language, you need to put it in a `
    ` and `POST` the content to a back-end script. Alternatively, you need to extract the value in JavaScript and post the content to the back-end with AJAX.

You need JavaScript for that. I don't think you can do it using html. Update your question if you intend on using JS.

How to select a value in dropdown javascript?

or like this

document.getElementById('status').value = 'true';​​​​​​​​​​
