### Description

Sets the value of a select element, such as a list or a combo box or a menu.  
Note: In HTML the Options of a Select tag can include a "value" attribute. If they do then this function sets the selection based on the value of the "value" attribute.  
To learn about forms and fields on a website, you can use the Form Utility application included with our plugin.  
  
Some websites use a lot of JavaScript, so you may need to send change event to control via [WebView.RunJavaScript](WebViewRunJavaScript.md) so the javascript is notified about the changes.  
### Examples

Fill a select input item:

 MBS ( "WebView.SetFormSelectValue" ; "web"; "search"; "borough"; "BROOKLYN" )
