Once you set the index of dropdown you need to trigger the change event.

select name="ctl00$PageContent$AccountDropDown$BillingAccountsDropDown" onchange="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$PageContent$AccountDropDown$BillingAccountsDropDown\',\'\')', 0)" id="ctl00_PageContent_AccountDropDown_BillingAccountsDropDown" style="width:250px;"

doc.getElementById("xs_r_gender").selectedindex=1
doc.getElementById("xs_r_gender").FireEvent("onchange")
