This is probably simple, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I have have some values stored in javascript variables. I have a
<select> dropdown list whose options correspond to these values. I want
to be able to select an item on the dropdown list based on the value of
the javascript variable.
Let's say this is my list and my variable:
<select id='popup'>
<option value="default">--Please Choose a saying--</option>
<option value="hello">Hello</option>
<option value="goodbye">Goodbye</option>
</select>
var input = "hello";
Is there a way to select the 2nd option using using that variable
value? Something like:
var popup = document.getElementById("popup");
popup.selectedItem = input;
If you have any help or know of a place where I can read up on this, I
would appreciate it.
