I know how to access the current value of a dropdown box. But how can I set it?

I have a dropdown box and one of the choices is 'Other'. When 'Other' is selected, a text box is enabled so the user can describe what they mean by 'Other'. Now, I want to make the dropdown more robust where if after selecting 'Other' and providing a comment the user willingly or not makes a different selection, the user is warned that the 'Other' description will be deleted with a choice to proceed or not. If the user proceeds the description is deleted and the text box disabled; if the user doesn't want to proceed with the deletion the text box is left enabled with its value untouched and the dropdown value is reset to 'Other'. This is the part that I can't figure out: how do I reset the display value of the dropdown?

Thanks for the help!
