                     <?php for($i=1;$i<count($s);$i++){?>

                        selectedFields.push("<?php echo $s[$i];?>"); 
                       <?php }?>
                         for(i=1;i<selectedFields.length;i++)
                     {

                               var select=selectedFields[i];
            for (var ii = 0; ii <  document.getElementById('ind1').length; ii++) { 
                    var value=document.getElementById('ind1').options[ii].value;
           alert(value);
          alert(select);
                                                     if(value==select)
                                                     {

                     document.getElementById('ind1').options[ii].selected=selected;
                                                     }//If 
                               }  //inner For
                   }//outer For
