Hi friends,
I have an (VBA) application which programatically fills the options in a web page.
I have an dropdown menu whose options are selected during run-time by using a function.Is there anyway by which I can select the option in the dropdown menu programatically ?
If the dropdown menu had its options explicitily mentioned (like <option value="1">1</option>...) I could have used document.form.o bjectname.selec tedindex=n
But here all I have is a function to generate the values in the dropdown menu.
<select name="name" id= "">
print_month_ele ment_drop_down_ menu(1, 12, 2, ' ');
</select>
Is there a wayout to select the desired value programmaticall y?
(I am temporarily using the sendkeys method,but it isnt that gr8 a solution...:-))

so u better to look for VB forum
To get a reference to the selected item, you can use this method:
[HTML]var dropdown = document.getEle mentById("dropd ownId");
var item = dropdown[dropdown.select edIndex];
[/HTML]

Also, don't forget to set the id for your dropdown. It is currently empty.

I have have some values stored in javascript variables. I have a
<select> dropdown list whose options correspond to these values. I want
to be able to select an item on the dropdown list based on the value of

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
