Ok, assuming you have an integer that you would pass in, you could loop
through all the elements in the field and check it's value. Like such:
==============================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Here's Your Answer, Mr. Decius...</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function autoSelect(strFormName, strFieldName, intLookupVal){
var objForm = document.forms[strFormName]
var objEl = objForm.elements[strFieldName]
for(var x = 0; x< objEl.options.length; x++){
if(parseInt(intLookupVal) == parseInt(objEl.options[x].value)){
objEl.options[x].selected = true
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
<BODY onLoad="autoSelect('myTestForm', 'myTestSelect', 1)">
<form name="myTestForm">
<select name="myTestSelect">
<option value="0">This will not be selected 1
<option value="1">This will be selected
<option value="2">This will not be selected 2
<option value="3">This will not be selected 3
</select>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
==============================
I hope that helps, and I made it so you can even call it multiple times in a
row by throwing it into that function. All you need to know is the form
name,
field name and the option you want selected.
I must ask though - why go client-side? Can you guarantee that
their scripting is enabled?
