   Hi
   I want to display current page [selected=selected] and parent page [selected=selected] in select form.

   So I've put in page.php for current parent page:

   <form>
   <select>
   	<?php
   	    $include_page_ids = array('7','8','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','21','23','24','25'); //also the order of appearance
   	    for ($i = 0;$i < count($include_page_ids);$i++) {
   		$args = array('title_li'=>'','include' => $include_page_ids[$i],'link_before'=>'<option>','link_after'=>'</option>');
   		wp_list_pages( $args );
   		}
   
   	?>
   	</select>
   </form>

   and for current page:

   <form>
   
   		<?
   if(wp_list_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&exclude=2')) {
   echo "<p>";
   wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&exclude=2'.'link_before= <option selected=selected>'.'link_after=</option>');
   echo "</p>";
   }
   elseif(get_the_title($post->post_parent) != the_title(' ' , ' ',false)) {
   echo "<select>";
   wp_list_pages('child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&title_li=&exclude=2'.'link_before=> <option>'.'link_after=></option>');
   echo "</select>";
   } ?>
   
   </form>

   and the parent page seems to almost work [doesn't display selected=selected] while current page does not at all...

   Changing the select filed should change the url as well...

   Do you have an idea how to work it out?

   Thanks!

   Marius

   In the first case, I don't think you can do that with wp_list_pages. You need to conditionally insert 'selected="selected"' and I don't know of any way to do that with wp_list_pages, although there is a wp_list_pages hook that you might be able to hook some regex to.

   In the second case, it looks like you are missing an ampersand before the 'link_before=' and before the 'link_after='. I confess, however, that I really hate that 'url get string' style parameter mechanism. It confuses me and I never use it, so I may have missed something.
