drop down list modification by javascript??? - wowzer - 12-01-2009 Hi, I am in a unique situation. I have web content that is externally housed, and among that content is a drop down menu that I would like to modify the defaulted item. It is in a tag in HTML. I cannot get that externally housed agent to change the content. Thus I am wondering if javascript could be used to automatically select an item AFTER the tag is loaded. Thanks. Re: drop down list modification by javascript??? - wowzer - 12-01-2009 I should add that the external housed items are a tag that we insert into our html tags. I wasn't clear in my initial email.

Re: drop down list modification by javascript??? - mattkime - 12-02-2009 $(document).ready( function(){ $('#fundName').val('Graduate Medical Education Alumni'); } ); anywhere in the document should do it. Re: drop down list modification by javascript??? - wowzer - 12-02-2009 Awesome! Thanks.
