I figured that the code belongs in the Dashlet controller javascript, while I was adding it to the model javascript.

The code below show the placement of the code

         if (!this.postDialog)
         {
            this.postDialog = new Alfresco.module.SimpleDialog(this.id + "-configDialog").setOptions(
            {
               templateUrl: Alfresco.constants.URL_SERVICECONTEXT + "modules/mydashlet/mydashlet-post?mode=edit;

               doSetupFormsValidation:
               {
                  fn: function TravelLog_doSetupForm_callback(form)
                  {
                     
                     setSelectedIndex = function (s, v) {
                         
                         for ( var i = 0; i < s.options.length; i++ ) {
                            if ( s.options[i].text === v ) {
                               s.options[i].selected = true;
                              return;
                            }
                         }
                      }
                     
                        var element = new YAHOO.util.Element('country_value');
                        var country_text = element.get('value');

                      setSelectedIndex(document.getElementById(this.postDialog.id + "-country"), country_text);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In the view, I added a hidden field country_value to hold a copy of the dropdown selected value.


  <input type="hidden" name="country_value" id="country_value" value="${country}" />

   <select name="country" id="${args.htmlid}-country" size="1" >
          <option value="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</option>
     <option value="Albania">Albania</option>
     <option value="Algeria">Algeria</option>
      <option value="American Samoa">American Samoa</option>
