How do I use a mouse click to select a particular dropdown option?

[rpeterson84]

Hi, Thanks in advance to for the help!!!!!

When the page loads, "Applicatio n Inventory" is selected by default ---
I want to use a mouse.click to select "Systems Compliance",
BUT HOW?
I'm clueless as I don't write javascript, but would really appreciate the assistance. Thanks a MILLION!

[HTML]<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function __doPostBack(ev entTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigat or.appName.toLo werCase().index Of("microsoft" ) > -1) {
theform = document.Criter iaBar;
}
else {
theform = document.forms["CriteriaBa r"];
}
theform.__EVENT TARGET.value = eventTarget.spl it("$").join(": ");
theform.__EVENT ARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit( );
}
// -->
</script>

<option selected="selec ted" value="Applicat ion Inventory">Appl ication Inventory</option>

selected="selec ted"!!!! The option which has this attribute would be the selected by default.

Any way if you want to simulate an event :

createEventObje ct / createEvent and dispatchEvent / fireEvent
