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 so the javascript is notified about the changes.

Examples

Fill a select input item:

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