Select an option from drop down list using RJS

Question

Using RJS:

page[:greeting].replace_html 'Hello World!' replaces the text in the 'greeting' field with 'Hello World'.

I have a drop down list and would like to select an option with a specific id using rjs.

My question how do I select an option from a drop down list with id "sub_book" using rjs.

Thanks for your help

Here is the solution I used:

page["sub_book"].selectedIndex = 5 //in this case am selecting the option with id 5

Hope it might be of help to somebody else
