How do I position a combo box to the value taken from a variable in the URL?
For example if "state=CA" in URL, I need to position the state combo box to "California".
I tried setting "state.selectedIndex=" a value like 5 or 8 or some number, but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks

It is not LiveCycle. It is AcroForm.

Ok then you need to use properties and functions in the Acrobat JavaScript DOM. I'd suggest downloading the Acrobat JavaScript Reference (linked in my signature block). Also read this article:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/10/list_and_combo_in_lc
It shows how to use the "currentValueIndices" property, which is anologous to the "selectedIndex" in LiveCycle scripting.
