[daisy] How to set a value by javascript within a selection list?

[Bruno Dumon]

Makes me think of it: the branch and language should be -1. The special
value -1 denotes a branch and language which are not set, meaning that
they will be relative to document containing the link field. The entries
in the selection lists are also such that the branch and language are -1
if they are the same as those of the document.
