Select List: Can't seem to get it right.

For some reason Im struggling with selection lists in the include.form.html template

I have:

Code:
<div class="value"> 
<select name="listingstatus" size="1"> 
<option <%if listingstatus eq ""%>value="On" selected="selected" <%endif%>>On</option> 
<option <%if listingstatus eq "Off"%>selected="selected" value="Off" <%endif%>>Off</option> 
<option <%if listingstatus eq "On"%>selected="selected" value="On" <%endif%>>On</option> 
</select> 
     </div>

But no matter what link I go to modify, it always starts off with the value selected of Off even if the value is On for that link record.

Am I writing this wrong?

Try this:

Code:
<select name="listingstatus" size="1"> 
 <option <%if not listingstatus or listingstatus eq "Off"%>selected="selected"<%endif%> value="Off">Off</option> 
 <option <%if listingstatus eq "On"%>selected="selected"<%endif%> value="On" >On</option> 
</select>
