How to use Selenium to interact with javascript in python?

Question

First I use python and selenium to load a website in firefox. Then I fill in a simple javascript type form. The site is poorly made but usually if I tell selenium to use (Keys.RETURN) then it will drop down a list of options. The problem is I don't know how to click on one of these because they didn't load with the web page. I tried using (Keys.ARROW_DOWN) to go through them but it still doesn't really work.

How can I interact with javascript through selenium using python?

Thanks.

PS I know almost nothing about javascript so if there is some way to do it, I still would be clueless on how to use javascript anyway...

You might have to tell the browser to wait for a few milliseconds.
