[jQuery] Re: Difference with two ways to select elements?

[Evgeny Bobovik]

1: $(select[name^='start_me_']).val(0); - this method set value only
in first founded selector, second method is most optimal to do what
you want - this method found all elements matches your criteria.

 Hi All

 I am having a question and seeking some help from the group.

 What I want to do? - to set the SELECTS that match the citerias to be
 defaul option.

 1: $(select[name^='start_me_']).val(0);
 2: $(select[name^='start_me_']).each(function() { this.value =
 0; });

 I found 1 doesn't work in IE but FF. Could someone let me konw why?
 And what's the difference between them?

 Many thanks
 Morris Li

ok, let me understand you clearly.
you want to change every option tag within a select to be a specific value ?
if the method you mentioned above does not work try this :

var obj = $(.myclass); // use jquery to select your SELECT by class
var opts = $(option, obj); // find all option tags within that select
opts.each(function(i) { // for each option tag - declare i for counting
 opts.eq(i).attr({ // change the current options attribute
  value:'my new value' // change the value attribute
 });
});
