Since when?  This hasn't worked in any browser I've ever tried, but
maybe something has changed since I tried it.  It would be nice to add a
Form.Element.setValue function to prototype that will just select the
matching option if it's a select box, but as of yet, I didn't see one in
there.  You need something like:

var input = $('id');
for (var i=0; i<input.options.length; i++) {
  if (input.options[i].value == yourValue) {
     input.options[i].selected = true;
     break;
  }
}
