Selecting Options Dynamically 1

[AgentM]

Can somebody tell me,
How can I select an Option in a Select dropdownbox on page load?

Can I use document.form.selBox.selected.value = 0?

Any help appreciated?

Thank you.

Thank you very much more questions:-

Here's what I am doing, when a user selects a value in a form's select dropdown box the form is submitted, data is obtained and displayed. The only thing I cannot do is preserve the selected value.

How do I do that? Is there a way to link the value in the Options to the SelectedIndex

Thanks for all the help

Are you trying to reload the select box dynamically? This is how I do it in asp. Let me know if you need something different....

<%
set objRS = objConn.execute(&quot;SELECT valueField, descriptionField FROM myTable&quot

selectChoice = request(&quot;mySelect&quot
optionStr = &quot;<option value=''>Choose One&quot;
do while not objRS.eof
if objrs(&quot;valueField&quot = selectChoice then keyWord = &quot;SELECTED&quot; else keyWord = &quot;&quot;
optionStr = optionStr & &quot;<option value='&quot;& objRS(&quot;valueField&quot & &quot;' &quot; & keyWord & &quot;>&quot; & objRS(&quot;descriptionField&quot

objrs.movenext
loop
%>

<select name=&quot;mySelect&quot;><%=optionStr%></select>
