$("select").*val*("options value");
The first code that you posted won't work because that is selecting
every <option> on the page and setting it to selected="selected". If you
have a single select <select> then it just defaults to the first
<option> if all of them are selected="selected".
$('option').get(0).attr('selected', 'selected');
That might work (haven't tested) since you are getting the first
<option> and setting it to selected.
The disable works because you are setting <input> to be disabled. There
are multiple <inputs> underneath an <option> or something like that to
mess it up.
