You just need to add the word 'selected' to the one you want listed - like this:

Code:

<option selected>3</option>

so you have to figure out how to do the 'selected' test inside this loop:

Code:

 while ($genreresults = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$output .= "<option value=\"$genreresults[genre]\"";

if($gid != "")

because you have to make $output .="<option selected value=
