Sorry, not clear at all. Could you formulate it properly, for example, show an example of select, "before" and "after", on what event/condition, etc. Even better, just do it yourself, by learning how JavaScript works on DOM elements. (What have you tried so far?) Of course you can manipulate any HTML element, without any limitations.

To change the selected item of a dropdown in jQuery you can do:

JavaScript

$('#BAMDEXSEARCH1').val("whatEverValueFromListYouWant");
