However, the proper code for that approach would be

  <head>
    …
    <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ just in case it is XHTML
      function selectItem(select)
      {
        if (/[?&]E58J([&#]|$)/.test(document.URL))
        {
          select.selectedIndex = 1;
        }
      }
    // ]]></script>
  </head>

  <body onload="selectItem(document.forms['selectform'].elements['promo'])"
    <form action="#" name="selectform">
      <select size="1" name="promo">
        <option value="" selected="selected">none/option>
        <option value="AAA">AAA</option>
      </select>
    </form>
  </body>

<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/ecma-script-binding.html>

It would be even better if they did not use client-side scripting, but 
server-side scripting to generate the form, and if they generated the 
`selected' attribute specification on a different `option' element if the 
parameter was detected in the document's URL.
