/**

 * @example
 *      // selectValue = "69"
 *      // selectValue = "69,70,71"
 *      <select>
 *          {{#selectHelper selectValue}}
 *              <option value="Completed">Completed</option>
 *              <option value="OverDue">OverDue</option>
 *              <option value="SentToPayer">SentToPayer</option>

Handlebars.registerHelper('selectHelper', function(selected, options) {
    var html = options.fn(this);

    if (selected) {
        var values = selected.split(',');
        var length = values.length;

        for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            html = html.replace( new RegExp(' value=\"' + values[i] + '\"'), '$& selected="selected"');
        }
    }

    return html;
});

If anyone gets

selected.split is not a function

you may need to convert selected parameter to string first. So add the below line of code after var html = options.fn(this);
var selected = selected + '';

You're a lifesaver! Thank you so much.
