    I am using a form and on different actions I am filling the form fields with data on different actions just calling em by their ID.

    Now for drop down, how will select a value from the options via javascript?

    it's very simple.

    you have the select:
    <select name="myselect">
    <option value="1">option1</option>
    <option value="2">option2</option>
    </select>

    and from js you can select an option like this:

    form.myselect.value = "1";

    Hey Slash, i tought it was more something like this :

    myselect.selectedIndex = 1;

    I don't think u can change the list bij just setting the value property.

    good luck!
