Well here is the actual issue.
I used the code you gave at the bottom of the document as follows:
<script>
document.getElementsByName('tt_ticketstatusid')[0].selectedIndex=1;
</script>
I figured that would work...But it didn't.
So I created a test drop down right above it with a different name to
see if the code was indeed correct -
and it worked fine with a drop down box that I generated. But for some
reasons it's not working with the one I want it to.
This might have something to do with the fact that they are using AJAX
- and here's why I think that.
The page loads and runs the javascript - but the javascript doesn't
see the element because the element doesn't exist because I havn't
click the tab that will make the element exist.
So now I have to figure out how to generate the javscript when the tab
is selected...
