I've been using the following to display the statename in my dropdown: $('#State option[value="' + LocationObject.State + '"]').attr('selected', 'selected');
LocationObject is a json object that I am using. The problem with this is that it does not add 'selected' to the option tage of the dropdown so when the user submits the form the value of the dropdown is incorrect. How can I add 'selected' to the option. Seems easy but I've not foind a solution to this in any posts. btw: I've also tried these 2 without luck either: $("#State").val(LocationObject.State).attr('selected', 'selected'); $("#State").val(LocationObject.State); thanks! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-add-%27selected%27-to-option-of-dynamically-set-Select-input--tp27394631s27240p27394631.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
