looping thru to set drop down values

[tester321]

Hi I was wondering if it was possible to loop thru to set the values of drop downs, like so (can't seem to get it working:

for (i=0;i<4;i++){
NAME.options[NAME.selectedIndex].value=5;
}

Thanks

that looks right. you're setting the value, not the text. maybe that's why you're confused?

if not, please show your actual HTML and JavaScript.

Hi cLFlaVA, yes i'm trying to set the value not the control, not sure why its not working, i have the JS at the end of the page. Its a .Net drop down control that i'm trying to set:
form1.DropDownSpecialty.options[form1.DropDownSpecialty.selectedIndex].value=5;

I wonder if it won't work because of the .net control? THanks, i'll keep figuring this one out. I have coded for it to work using server side code, but i'm still puzzled why the script won't intantiate over the control

please post your client-side HTML for the select box. do a view > source, copy and paste.
