I have done by this way.but is there any other way by which i can do this.actually i have to implement this logic in jsp and if i use this code then it is difficult to implement this code in jsp.

i want some simpler way.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function select_item( selc, item) {
for ( x=0; x<selc.options.length; x++) {
if (selc.options[x].value == item ) {
selc.options[x].selected = true;
return;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
<input type="button" value="three" onclick="select_item(document.form1.mySelect,'six');">
<select name="mySelect">
<option value="one">1</option>
<option value="two">2</option>
<option value="three">3</option>
<option value="four">4</option>
<option value="five">5</option>
<option value="six">6</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
