the general rule for selecting an option in a combo box is: document.formName.selectBoxName.selectedIndex = n
where n is your number (remember, the first option is 0) In your case, i'd guess you want to store the names of your 30 combo boxes in an array, and add a function for onchange into each <select>, which loops over the array, setting eavh value appropriately (which would be this.selectedIndex...passed as an argument) :) you can contact me off-list if you need any help with it if you'd like. charlie Thane Sherrington writes: > At 10:39 AM 4/1/03 -0600, Chris Montgomery wrote: >>Howdy Thane, >> >>Tuesday, April 1, 2003, 10:03:33 AM, Thane Sherrington wrote: >> >> > Is it possible to use Javascript to select a choice in a combo box? >> >> > For instance, if I have a form with people listed, and beside each, a >> combo >> > box with all the departments in the company, can I select a department in >> > the first combobox, and have the other combo boxes automatically switch to >> > that department as well? >> >>Yes.
