This post has a simple rewrite for set_select in the CI Validation Class.
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/69956/

...application/libraries/MY_Validation.php

Code:

function set_select($field = '', $value = ''){
  if ($field == '' OR $value == ''){
    return '';
  }
  $compareVal = isset($_POST[$field]) ? $_POST[$field] : $this->$field;
  if($compareVal == $value){
    return ' selected="true"';
  }
}

this allows you to set the load a default in the controller:

Code:

$this->validation->myselect = "select1";

then in the view:

Code:

<select name="myselect">
<option value="select1" &lt;?=$this->validation->set_select('myselect', 'select1'); ?&gt; >&lt;?=$row->name; ?&gt;</option>

I don't think it works with multiple selected items.
