How to set a `selected` with Select(objectName) ?

[kristof polleunis]

The site runs on Nginx with Tomcat and Nginx has the geoip module enabled.   So I can get the country of the visitor as cgi variable in CFWheels.  Now I have a select list of countries with value equals to a two character iso-countrycoded.  I would like it to be set to the country detected.

#select(objectName="user", id="country", property="country", options=countrylist)#

#errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="country")#

What I would like to have if let's say the countrycode from the cgi variable is AQ that Antartica is set default.

<select id="country" name="user[country]">

<option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>

<option value="AL">Albania</option>

<option value="DZ">Algeria</option>

<option value="AS">American Samoa</option>

<option value="AD">Andorra</option>

<option value="AO">Angola</option>

<option value="AI">Anguilla</option>

<option value="AQ" selected>Antarctica</option>

<option value="AG">Antigua and Barbuda</option>

<option value="AR">Argentina</option>

<option value="AM">Armenia</option>

...

</select>

You can do something like this in your controller:

<cfset user = model("User").new()>

<cfset user.country = cgi.iso-countrycoded>
