Hi everyone,

Can we select by value instead of document.form3.select.selectedIndex=2;
??

The reason is that my select option is built from a table in the database at run time. I cannot use index numbers as the order may change.

Where can I get the full attribute listing for all this HTML stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Didn't work but I found another psoting by AdamBrill
document.formname.selectname.value="Number 2";

That works.

Thanks All.

Try this...
value = document.theform.sel.options[document.theform.sel.selectedIndex].value

Hi Dave,

If you are still on-line and you have some time to spare for little old me (again).

Could you give me your suggestion on this.
