Hi

Can JavaScript be used to change the selected value in a drop down box on a webpage??

Thanks,
Marcus

Yes.

<script>
function changeSelect(){
curIndex = document.myForm.mySelect.selectedIndex
if (curIndex < document.myForm.mySelect.options.length - 1){
document.myForm.mySelect.selectedIndex = curIndex++
}
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<select name=&quot;mySelect&quot;>
<option selected>1
<option>2
<option>3
<option>4
<option>5
</select>
<input value=&quot;Click&quot; onClick=&quot;changeSelect()&quot;>
