g:select is supposed to render a "selected='selected'" or alike for the element in 'from' attribute value that equals to the 'value' attribute value, as seen in docs: http://grails.codehaus.org/Tag+-+select . But when I do so nothing happens. The tag seems to ignore de value attribute.

nacho,

Can you show a snippet of your relevant code? I can't reproduce the problem.

Thanks.

I have just seen the same thing, but it only seems to be a problem when you use the optionKey attribute. If I don't use optionKey and supply an instance of the object from the list, it works fine. i.e.

from="${myobjectlist}" value="${myobject}"

But if I use

from="${myobjectlist}" optionKey="id" value="${myobject}"

I get a ClassCastException because I think it is expecting value attribute to be of the same type as optionKey attribute, so you cannot pass the whole object to value. So I switched to

from="${myobjectlist}" optionKey="id" value="${myobject.id}"

That gets rid of the ClassCastException, but there is no "selected" attribute on any of the resulting <option> tags in the HTML. I tried it wil hard-coded id values too any still no joy.

Hope that helps, Jason

(BTW, this is my first post in this forum, and can I say that Grails ROCKS!)
