var PopupMenu = eval( 'document.FormName.SelectItemName' );
var index = PopupMenu.selectedIndex;

I don't know if the 'selectedIndex' member is writeable, I've only ever read the value.
I've only ever set the selected index via popup_menu function in perl's CGI module.

Just off the top of my head, can't you do something like this?
document.formName.selectField[n].selected = true;

Where 'n' is the index of the value you want to select.
