Need to select an option that doesn't exist

[Brian John]

I need to test a scenario that should not be possible in a web page conventionally.  What I basically need to do is to select an option from a select list that doesn't exist.  For instance, the select box has options with values 100,101,102,103,etc. and I need to be able to set that parameter to the value 1.  HttpUnit will not allow me to set this parameter to 1, even if I use form.getScriptableObject().setParameterValue().

The way I see it there are two possibilities here:
1.  Somehow force the parameter to the value 1.
2.  Rewrite one of the options in the form to have the value 1 on the client side.

Does anyone have any clue how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,
Brian

set
HttpUnitOptions.setParameterValuesValidated(false);

reset it back to true afterwards
