    This code should work :

    Simulate clicks on options 

    <style type="text/css">
div
{
width:30px;
height:30px;
margin:4px;
cursor:pointer;
}

#click-object-1{background-color:#F00;}
#click-object-2{background-color:#0F0;}
#click-object-3{background-color:#00F;}
#click-object-4{background-color:#FF0;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function grabClick(selid , optionid){
var arr = new Array();
arr['empty'] = "0";
arr['fireaway'] = 1;
arr['groundearth'] = 2;
arr['watermelon'] = 1;
arr['catchwind'] = 2;
changeTo(selid, arr[optionid]);
setTimeout(function(){changeTo(selid, "0")}, 1000);
setTimeout(function(){changeTo(selid, arr[optionid])}, 2000);
}
function changeTo(sd, od){
var sel = document.getElementById(sd);
sel.options[od].selected = true;
}
</script>

<body>


<form action="">

  <fieldset>

    <ul style="list-style:none;">
      <li>
        <select id="select_items_first" name="SelectItemsFirst">
