I'm just starting my initial journey into jquery, and I basically need the jquery syntax equivalent of this:
document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex = 0; document.formName.selectName.options[0].selected = true; Here is the relevant code (this is supposed to happen once an id'ed element is clicked): jquery: $("#showall").click(function(){ document.example.state.selectedIndex = 0; document.example.state.options[0].selected = true; }); html: <form name="example" action="#"> <select name="state" id="state" class="selector"> <option value="selectone" selected="selected">Select One</ option> <option value="all-50-states">States 1-50</option> </selected>
