[thelist] Jump to entry in select box?

[Mike.Hodgson]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to fumble my way round a bit of javascript and am wondering it's
possible to jump (using onClick in a checkbox) to a specific entry in a
pulldown list based on the *value* of the entry.  I know I can jump to a
specific entry in the options *array* using something like:

<form name="form1">
	<input type="checkbox"
onClick="document.form1.pulldown.options[2].selected=true">
	<select name="pulldown">
		<option value="">choose one...
		<option value="2">Mick
		<option value="37">Sean
		<option value="9">Chris
		<option value="1">Mark
	</select>
	<input type="submit">
</form>

which will jump to "Sean".  Is there a way I can jump to "Chris" by
referring to the number "9"???

I hope that made sense.
Cheers,
Mick
