I have tried to change the selection in my <SELECT> object in many ways. I have tried "document.FORM.SELECT.selectedIndex = *;" I have also tried "document.FORM.SELECT.options[*].selected = true;" which always gets me a options is not defined message.

If anyone knows how to correctly write the function the will change the current selection within a <SELECT> object, please advise.

I would like for a button, or mapped image ~ when clicked to change
the current selection in my dropdown menu/list.

Hmmm...not picking at you just curious: You don't want the viewer to make the choice? I'm just not sure what you are trying? Smiling

document.FORM.SELECT.options[0].selected = true;
