My salesforce page has dropdown and textbox, but require a double click to enter

dropdown

textbox

Here is DOM for Ground snow load enter image description here my thought was to change the value of dropdown by id document.getElementById('00NE0000000eRDx').value = "107"; but this does not work

I need the value of the dropdown and the text box to be changed with my variable in javascript and i need them saved (i could click save in a seperate step) My thought was to use sfdcPage.getInlineEditData("00NE0000000eRDx").openField or something like that since document.getElementById did not work

using the Salesforce Classic UI where I can input using browser automation. I was hoping to use the console and input javascript to change the value of the textbox or to change the dropdown value/text chosen. Im not sure i understand the use apex:actionFunction. would you be able to suggest more clearly how to use this?

    Are you building a Visualforce page? This looks like standard Salesforce Classic UI; are you working on something like browser automation? Could you make an edit to flesh out your use case?

With inline editing, that's how it works. If you want to change the value while you're not inline editing, use apex:actionFunction to set the new value in the View State, and the page will update accordingly.
