If for example your option values would look like "02/21/2007" etc. you could easily set the selected one with: $('#date').val('02/22/2007'); <select id="date"> ... <option value="02/21/2007">02/21/2007</option> ... </select> -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
