Selecting the correct value in a selection-list
I have searched through the archives and docs to no avail.
In the scenario where I have a selection list built up in javascript
var states = [
{ key: "AL", value: "Alabama" },
{ key: "AK", value: "Alaska" },
{ key: "WY", value: "Wyoming" }
];
I pass it into the form:
form.showForm(uri, { "states" : states });
and in the field I have the following element:
<wd:selection-list type="flow-jxpath" list-path="states" value-path="key" label-path="value"/>
How can I select a value eg "AK":
form.getWidget("myStateDropDown").setValue("AK");
does not work...

OK I have the spinning tie on and I'm having a good laugh at myself.
I had:
// depPorts being a list I obtained from a SOAP call
depPortList = new Array(depPorts.length); for( var i=0; i <
depPorts.length; i++ ) {
// What should have been
depPortList[i] = { key : depPorts[i] };
// Was
depPortList[i] = { value : depPorts[i] };
}
// Therefore
form.getWidget("repeaterWidget").getRow(0).getWidget("depPort").setValue("SY
D");
// Would not work
I am off to have an expresso and a piece of Humble Pie.
Thanks for your help Bruno.

I see no reason it wouldn't work. Could you create a minimal testcase
(form definition, template & flowscript) to illustrate the problem?

Bruno,
Ok I think I over simplified things so as to explain my problem
I have a repeater with a select-list in each row, I wish to select the "AK"
value in the select-list of the first row.
form.getWidget("myRepeaterWidget").getRow(0).getWidget("myStateDropDown").se
tValue("AK");
This does not work (for me).

sure, this is supposed to work.
I just tried the exact sample you gave in your first mail, and it works
perfectly for me.
Did you make any changes to the XSL's?
And did you do the setValue() call before the showForm() call? I hope I
don't insult you by asking such a stupid question ;-)
So this is what I tried:

I still think I am not quite explaining my problem very well.
In a dropdown list of say 3 state codes I wish to default the selected value
to "AK" this being the second value in the list.
Therefore the value of the dropdown list field is defaulted to "AK".
Is this possible within Woody? How do I select a value "in the list" as the
default/selected?
<!-- A typical scenario is where a country dropdown list lists all countries
but defaults to "USA". This is very common behaviour -->

hmmm, strange. Maybe it's a problem that the setted value is a
javascript string, so try this:
form.getWidget("myStateDropDown").setValue(new java.lang.String("AK"));
or alternatively:
form.getModel().myStateDropDown = "AK";
though normally the setValue() call should raise an exception if the
argument is of the wrong type.

Sorry I'm not sure I have explained well
In the selection-list (dropdown) I will eventually want the html to look
like this
<option value="Alabama">AL</option>
<option value="Alaska" selected>AK</option>
<option value="Wyoming">WY</option>
Where "AK" is the selected value
hence the line:
form.getWidget("myStateDropDown").setValue("AK");

I guess this can be a typo while writing the mail:
> form.getWidget("myStateDropDown").setValue("AK");
but to be sure, I wrote the correct one:
form.getWidget("myStateDropDown").getValue();
This solve your problem?
