How to select a specific dropdown item using JavaScript

[RsTm16]

I've created a dropdown menu named "Product" with 3 items in this order : "item1", "item2" and "item3".

Wondering if someone can help me with the javascript code that will allow "item2" to be selected.

Thanks

Here you go:

this.getField("Product").value = "item2";

Thank you for reply, unfortunaltely it didn't work. 

FYI, I've created 2 dropdown menu: "Type" and "Product"

- "Type" has 3 items : "Type1" , "Type2" and "Type3"

- "Product" has 3 items : "item1", "item2" and "item3"

I need a javascript code to set the dropdown "Type" value to "Type2" when the "item2" is selceted in "Product".

You should explain like that in the first post 🙂

Use this as 'Validate' script of "Product" field:

if(event.value == "item2")
this.getField("Type").value = "Type2";

JavaScript is case sensitive, it's not "item2" it's "Item 2" including space, and it's not "Type2" it's "Type 2", you need to be very specific, try this:

if(event.value == "Item 2")
this.getField("Type").value = "Type 2";
