Sunfighter:

Aside from the fact that you keep repeating the code document.getElementById("attop38") instead of assigning it once to a local variable, how is that different that the code I showed?

Oh...wait...I see...You set the <option>'s selected property to true whereas I changed the selectedIndex. So long as the <select> is not set to muliple, though, those are equivalent.
