I do get the right data from the database.
The listbox gets filled correctly.
It is just that the name which is currently set as partner doesn't
show in the box.
I tried to fix that with:
echo "<option value='$partner'>{$nt['rank']} {$nt['firstname']}
{$nt['lastname']}</option>";
Problem is that I cannot do it at first I have to wait until the do
while loop for filling the listbox
has run.
