this simple test HTML/JS works fine for me in Firefox 1.0.7 and I'm pretty sure
it works with IE (but I don't have one handy to test with).
<html>
<form id="my_form">
<select id="stuff">
<option value="">--</option>
<option value="foo">Foo</option>
<option value="bar">Bar</option>
</select>
<input type="button" onClick="set_stuff('foo')" value="Foo">
<input type="button" onClick="set_stuff('bar')" value="Bar">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function set_stuff(my_value) {
document.forms['my_form'].elements['stuff'].value = my_value;
}
</script>
</html>
