Selecting current week in drop down

Hi All,

In a drop down box i am populating all the weeks from 1 to 52, but
whenever the page loads, i want it show the current week number as
selected value.

Below is what is did:

<option selected value="<% DatePart("ww", Now()) %>"> <% wkCnt %> </
option>

But when my page loads, the drop down box shows the last week in the
list (52), instead of current week which is 43.

please let me know i am missing something.

appreciate any ideas on this.

Thank you!!

Navin

Since there are 365 or 366 days in a year, 52 weeks cannot be
sufficient.

><option selected value="<% DatePart("ww", Now()) %>">

DatePart "ww" is buggy when generating ISO standard week numbers, and
therefore untrustworthy IMHO on any other form of week numbering.

A test of every day over 400 years should suffice; or 28 years for the
short-termists.
