Set the value of a dropdown using Javascript?

Reply Quote

How can I set the value of a dropdown using Javascript? e.g. Have Courier selected in the Default Font dropdown. This must be done using Javascript as the value I want to select depends on choices the user has made client side.

I am able to grab the element but am not able to find a way to set the selected index ... does anybody have any ideas?

lp = document.getElementById('CE_ctl00_ctl01_bcr_PostForm___PostBody___Editor_IDfontname');

if(lp)
    {
    ????????
    }

Okay, I now have worked out how to change the innerHTML but the control remains the same ... is there a way to redraw / refresh it? Here is the code so far.

lp = document.getElementById('CE_ctl00_ctl01_bcr_PostForm___PostBody___Editor_IDfontname');

if(lp)

{

lp.childNodes.item(0).removeAttribute('selected')

lp.childNodes.item(4).setAttribute('selected','True')

????????
}
