Value isn't readonly, and you might not have an index but a string.
I'm not asking help how to code. I'd like to know what happenns in case
'VALUE' is set .

I think that the correct approach is to define the SELECTED INDEX of the
list, never to try setting the list value directly.
Indeed, I think that the value property is READ-ONLY in this case... so
you can NOT set
Right approach:
objectSelect.selectedIndex = DESIRED_INDEX;

Currently, no DOM specification explicitly defines behaviour and
restrictions when setting the value of the value property for elements
part of forms, like select, option, and input. That's however, work
that's being done at WHATWG.
Yet, one single case persists:
- the value property of a HMTLSelectElement is a limited domain,
formed by the value of the select's child option elements value
property.
Is this a valid assertion ?
What is expected to happen when a script tries to set the value of the
value property of a select element, value which doesn't exist among
it's children ? Should the value remain unchanged ? An error thrown ?
thank you.
