Yes, this would be easier ;-)

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  
(a file-out) so that your problem can be tackled ;-)

Cheers,
Lukas
