Thank your for your answers but I don't want to set the value. What I want to happen is to programmatically change the select into:
BEFORE AFTER <form> <form> Select your favorite fruit: Select your favorite fruit: <select id="fruits"> <select id="fruits"> <option>Apple</option> <option>Apple</option> <option>Orange</option> <option>Orange</option> <option>Pineapple</option> <option SELECTED>Pineapple</option> <---------------------- <option>Banana</option> <option>Banana</option> </select> </select> </form> </form> On Oct 1, 2:50 pm, greenteam003 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You could achieve this by using $('#fruits').val('Banana'). >
