I have created a drop down box for displaying month.But I want to show current month in the drop down box .
[HTML]
<select name=month onChange="setMonth(value)">
<option value=01>JAN</option>
<option value=02>FEB</option>
<option value=03>MAR</option>
<option value=04>APR</option>
<option value=05>MAY</option>
<option value=06>JUN</option>
<option value=07>JUL</option>
<option value=08>AUG</option>
<option value=09>SEP</option>
<option value=10>OCT</option>
<option value=11>NOV</option>
<option value=12>DEC</option>
</select>
[/HTML]

Now I need to write a java script so that the drop down box will show intially the current month. For example the current month is march therefore the drop dow box should show intially march as the current month.

Need to know how to start it with java scripts any pointers will be very helpful.
