Don't try to break out the brevity card when you're arguing against

Oh, you forgot to include the 57,254 bytes of jQuery source above
this, making it slightly bigger than the two lines you show below :-)
I really like jQuery, I use it frequently and encourage others to use
it often. If you are doing any amount of JS I highly recommend using
it (or some JS library, jQuery being my favorite).
But let's not confuse things here. This reminds of the folks who
claim to write a web server 12 lines of Python (or Perl, Ruby, etc.)
by conveniently not mentioning the 37,000 lines of modules that they
imported and built upon.
vs.
var myselect=document.getElementById("sample");
myselect.selectedIndex = 3;
