I don't know how to change the selected item in a selectbox. I tried this but it doesn't work as expected.HTML code: ========= <select id="id_cliente" name="cliente" size="1"> <option value="" selected="selected">---------</option> <option value="1">First</option> <option value="2">Second</option> </select> javascript code: ============ var cliente = 2; $('#id_cliente:nth-child(cliente)').attr('selected','selected'); any ideas?Using my Field plug-in (http://jquery.com/plugins/project/field) you could do: $("#id_cliente").setValue("2"); The big benefit to using my Field plug-in is that you can change the form field from a select box to a checkbox or radio element and you would not have to refactor code that grabs/sets the value of the field. -Dan
Dan, that truly is an advantage. But I was of the opinion, that val() works with selects and radios as well, thus the refactoring possibility exists for core jQuery as well (of course I don't want people to stay away from your plugin by saying that).
Another question (Mike, Dan?). What are the differences between form and field plugin?
