The following URL is an example of code I compiled that demonstrates Firefox's inability to show a default selection within a selection group.  This feature works in IE6 and the latest opera http://webtech.tstc.edu/students/southr/1311project/donate.html



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter selected="selected" after individual option in selection group
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Default selection is not highlighted

Expected Results:  
Each option with selected="selected" should be highlighted in the browser.

Problem doesn't occur in IE6 or the latest Opera Browser

Can confirm this on Firefox 3.0.0.8 Ubuntu Linux. 
This only comes out in reloading the page.

How to reproduce:
create test.html with this code:
<select name="test">
<option value="Test 1">Test 1</option>
<option value="Test 2">Test 2</option>
<option value="Test 3">Test 3</option>
</select>

Open in Firefox. The rendered page shows "Test 1"

Now keep the browser open on this page and edit the file to contain this:

<select name="test">
<option value="Test 1">Test 1</option>
<option value="Test 2">Test 2</option>
<option value="Test 3" selected="selected">Test 3</option>
</select>

Hit refresh on browser and see that it still shows "Test 1"

Expected behavior: the browser should show "Test 3"

This does not affect end users, but is very annoying to developers.
