> Thanks.  This works for me. I create a new class Tester with those two  
 descriptions on the class side and tried in Seaside:

 TesterTask>>go
     | t |
     t := Tester new.
     [ self call: (t asComponent addValidatedForm; yourself) ] repeat

 1. For the 'title' nothing is selected, because the default value is  
 not in the list of options.

 2. For the 'nationality' Switzerland is selected.

 How does your model code looks like? Is it already initialized with  
 something other than nil? Maybe you should give a little more context  
    In fact I use the tutorial package peek up from
http://mc.lukas-renggli.ch/tutorial/.

I have just saw the mistake with 'Mrs'  what is  strange is that  I have
a new option  'Mrs' with out the dot in my list.
Correcting this, nothing change for Nationality but he work for Title.

(I use Magritte 1.0.7 and Seaside 2.6)
