Automatic selection of <OPTION> after info sent to form

[Hydrogen]

Hello there,

I've got a few dropdown 'SELECT' controls on a page that represent the days months and years. A little popup calendar will send back the day month and year and insert them into a text box with no problems.

But I want the drop down menus to have their selected values changed using javascript.

Is this possible anyone?

Thanks

Adrian.

Yes, set the value of each select drop-down as required.

Make sure that each option has a value otherwise this won't work in IE.

Think you've missed the point. I want the 'SELECT' drop down to highlight the matching value to the value that is sent from the calendar javascript.

So if Month is sent in as "March" then the option :

<option value='March'>March</option>

will be selected.

Let's say you have a select with ID "month", then the following should work:

document.getElementById("month").value = calMonth;
// where calMonth is the month sent from the calendar

Thanks all,

the :

document.getElementById("month").value = calMonth;

doesn't work with the drop down menu's it appears.

Can you post some code or a test link.
