[thelist] Jump to entry in select box?

[Raymond K. Camden]

This code will handle that.

I believe that addressing the form by name, document.Foo, is a 4.x only
convention. If this is the only form on the page, you can replace it with
document.forms[0], or, if it's the Xth form, use X-1 instead of 0.

<FORM NAME="Foo">

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="doit"
VALUE="Auto" onClick="for(i=0;i<document.Foo.MyDropDown.options.length;i++)
{ if(document.Foo.MyDropDown.options[i].value == 9)
document.Foo.MyDropDown.options[i].selected = i; }">Auto select something
<P>
<SELECT NAME="MyDropDown">

<OPTION VALUE="1">Luke
<OPTION VALUE="3">Darth
<OPTION VALUE=9>Han
</SELECT>

</FORM>
