Select Multiple Dropdown Items

[☠ℬαłłℓℯωℯ♭☠ 10]

I'm stuck, I need to select 2 items on a dropdown menu (listbox) but cannot find native ability to do it within ubot. I'd imagine that I will need to accomplish this using Javascript. Does anyone have experience with this? I have pasted the code for the listbox/dropdown menu below:

<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='3' border='0'>      <tr><td valign='top'><b>Items</b> </td><td  class="internalColumn"><label for='ITEMS'><select style=' width: 100%;' title="Select ITEMS to search.  Hold down CTRL to select multiple counties." id='ITEMS' name='ITEMS' size='7' multiple='multiple'><option title="All Counties.  Use the CTRL key to select multiple individual counties." value='' selected='selected' >-- ALL --</option><option  value="58" title="Red">Red</option><option  value="59" title="White">White</option><option  value="60" title="Blue, WA">Blue</option><option  value="61" title="Yellow">Yellow</option><option  value="51" title="Green">Green</option></select></label></td></tr> <tr><td colspan='2'><i>Hold down CTRL to select multiple items</i></td></tr>

comment("Deselects all")
run javascript("select.selectedIndex = -1;")
comment("Will select more than 1")
run javascript("var optionsToSelect = [\'White\', \'Green\'];
var select = document.getElementById( \'ITEMS\' );

for ( var i = 0, l = select.options.length, o; i < l; i++ )
\{
  o = select.options;
  if ( optionsToSelect.indexOf( o.text ) != -1 )
  \{
    o.selected = true;
  \}
\}")

Thanks LoWrIdErTJ, I added the code to a run javascript node and ran the node, but no joy (I probably missed something). I made some revisions to the code you gave which worked. I have posted the code below for future reference for those that might need it:

 

var optionsToSelect = ['White', 'Green'];
var select = document.getElementById( 'ITEMS' );


for ( var i = 0, l = select.options.length, o; i < l; i++ )
{
  o = select.options[i];
  if ( optionsToSelect.indexOf( o.text ) != -1 )
  {
    o.selected = true;
  }
}
