Yes you can.
I'm not going to give you the code, but a pointer to solving problems
yourself.
Just break the problem down to its component parts, and resolve each one as
you go. For instance, you need to define an option as selected - first
figure out how to do that (it's a HTML problem).
Then you only want to define an option as selected if certain conditions are
met, so test for the conditions and act accordingly.
