I use this function to set the <option> of a drop down input. Works in IE6
and FF that I know of. You'll notice it only works well for <option>s with
unique values. You could probably easily change it if you needed otherwise.
// Usage
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'State']").option( "CA" );
// "Plugin"
jQuery.fn.option = function (value) {
return this.each(function() {
var select = $(this)[0];
for ( var i=0; i<select.length; i++ )
if (select[i].value == value)
select.selectedIndex = i;
});
};
