Tried this and [selected name="box_name" value="[scratch
selected_value"]]; didn't work.  More details:

My form looks like this:

<form action="[area middle]" method="post">
  <select name="layer_two_select_one"
onChange="reactToFormChange(this)">
<option value="manuf a">manuf a</option>
<option vlaue="manuf b">manuf b</option>
</select>
<select name="layer_two_select_two" onChange="this.form.submit()">
<option value="model a">model a</option>
<option value="model b">model b</option>
</select>
</form>

Then in middle.html I have:

[seti selected_manuf][value-extended layer_two_select_one][/seti]
[seti selected_model][value-extended layer_two_select_two][/seti]
// [scratch selected_manuf]
// [selected name="layer_two_select_one" value="[scratch selected_manuf]"]

What I get out is:

// some text
//

Notice that the selected tag isn't returning true.  I'm guessing
either a typo or something silly.  Any guesses which and where?
