The code you posted should work normally. But make sure
existingCase.records.Spin_Off__c is a string (and also make sure it
doesnt have trailing whitespace!).
But if it just doesn't work, yeah you can set an option "selected"
explicitly
$("#00N80000002fnHx > option").each(function() {
if($(this).val() == existingCase.records.Spin_Off__c) {
$(this).attr('selected','selected')
}
// the following part might not be necessary... depends one exactly
what conditions you use it
elseif($(this).attr('selected') != undefined) {
$(this).removeAttr('selected')
}
});
