Hi Folks,
I am having a problem trying to set a value in an empty combo box.  Usually this box will get populated with a list of cities via java script by having the user select "Province/State" combo box on the web form.  I have disabled JS for the time being as it gives me all kinds of exceptions as I want to set the correct values to this combo box directly using the form.setParameter("cityId", "New York");
I get this error
     [java] Error Occured= May not set parameter 'cityId' to 'New York'. Value must b
e one of: { , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,  }

Anyone know how to resolve this?  with the cityId element being empty, the form will be not be processed on the database side.  A good test, but not the one I am trying to design.

Thanks in advance.
