I think you should try with _setSelected() instead of _select in your code.
thank you
chinmaya
let's assume you have a dropdown with name="Title".....
The first option is Blank followed by Mr, Mrs, Doc, Prof & Dr
So, to select Doc:
_setSelected(_select("Title"), "Doc");
To select by index:
_setSelected(_select("Title"), 3);
REMEBER:
Selecting based on index always starts from 0.
Hope this helps.
