<div>
what is the error you are getting?<br />
<br />
it will depend at which point the error is thrown<br />
<br />
provide a stack trace if you can
</div>


<div>
The error message is :<br />
<br />
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'set_checked': object is null or undefined <br />
<br />
And it happens when the line in the OP is run. Its erroring because the comboBoxPPIPWL.findItemByV<wbr />alue(check<wbr />boxText) is null in that it cant find the value of checkboxText.<br />

I think I have sorted this now.<br />
<br />
if(comboBoxPPFUWL.findItem<wbr />ByValue(ch<wbr />eckboxText<wbr />)){<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; comboBoxPPFUWL.findItemByV<wbr />alue(check<wbr />boxText).s<wbr />et_checked<wbr />(false);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
Just testing now.

Hi I have the following to select a value in a dropdown list:<br />
<br />
comboBoxPPIPWL.findItemByV<wbr />alue(check<wbr />boxText).s<wbr />et_checked<wbr />(true);<br />
<br />
However the line fails if checkboxText isn't found.<br />
<br />
How do I test first then set checked if found.<br />

Javascript findItemByValue test first

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
