How to display a value from Select List by default

Question

I have a Select List on a form and I need to on page load show an entry from the SL depending on the user Id of the user logged on.  For example, if the SL had 3 entries: 'Div1', 'Div2', and 'Div3', depending on the division the user belongs to (I can determine that from his user Id using a SQL), say, I need to display 'Div2' to the user in the SL instead of the usual NULL or '---- Select Div ----'.  'Div1' and 'Div 3' entries will still be part of the SL, but for user's convenience I need to display their division.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Ajay,
you need to specify your apex version, database version and so on to make our help specific.
Anyhow you can create a page process- for example one at On Load before header.
For example;
[code]
declare
  v_division varchar2(32);
begin
  --select default division
   select my_division
   into v_division
  from my_division
  where my_division=:APP_USER;
:P_DIVISION:=v_division;
end;
[/code]
Then in the default of your select list, specify P_DIVISION as the default. Using one of several methods
