Choosing item from dropdown menu with javascript

Hey I am trying to choose option from one site with javascript. No luck, I have tried couple of methods, but none seem to work. In this si开发者_Python百科te http://www.finnkino.fi/movies/maxim_helsinki there is dropdown menu which says Tänään, 13.11.2010. I need to change to to another value from the menu with javascript. Help is highly appericiated! Thanks!

Emulating the user's mouse clicks:

$('#dt_input').click();
$('#dt_input_14\\.11\\.2010').click();

Two backslashes are necessary before each dot because jQuery interprets the dot to refer to a specific HTML class; we need to escape the dots. Alternatively, use document.getElementById, which doesn't require the dots to be escaped:

$(document.getElementById('dt_input_14.11.2010')).click();

You could set the value of the <select> tag to some other value:

document.getElementById('dt').value = '08.01.2011';

This will select the option with value="08.01.2011".

Or using jquery:

$('#dt').val('08.01.2011');
