Body
<p>I have a select menu and I need to dynamically select the option based on the text value of the option element. For example, my select looks like this:</p> <pre><code><select id="names"> <option value="">Please Select</option> <option value="1">John</option> <option value="2">Steve</option> <option value="3">Max</option> </select> </code></pre> <p>If I have the string "Max", how can I get that the index of the option is 4 so I can dynamically set this as the selectedIndex with JavaScript?</p> <p>No jQuery.</p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
