Selecting values IF they exist

vt_hokie2008

My situation is I have a drop down list and I want to select either A, B, or C from the list IF it exists in the list. How can I go about doing this? Only one of them will be in the list at a time, but whether it is there or not depends on what you select in another drop down list above this one in the form.

You can try to save the value of what is in the list first into a var, and then select that var after using your if statement.

Hi vt_hokie2008,

Try the following Script,

var $a=new Array();
$a=["A","B","C"];
var $b=_getText(SelectElement);
for(var $j=0;$j<$a.length;$j++){
    for(var $i=0;$i<$b.length;$i++){
        if($a[$j]==(_getText(SelectElement).options[$i]))){
            _setSelected(SelectElement,$a[$j]);
        }
    }
}

let us know,if the problem persists.
