Hi, it is actually not difficult.
Here is a piece of old examplecode to get you going:
<html>
<head>
<title> titel </title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setme(num)
{
document.forms.aform.fruit.selectedIndex = num;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="aform">
<select name="fruit">
<option value="bananas">bananas</option>
<option value="kokos">kokos</option>
<option value="apple">apple</option>
</select>
<input type=submit >
</form>
<p>
<a href="javascript
:setme(0);">set bananas</a><p>
<a href="javascript
:setme(1);">set kokos</a><p>
<a href="javascript
:setme(2);">set apple</a><p>
</body>
</html>
