How do I dynamically set the selected option of a drop-down list using jQuery, JavaScript and HTML?

Question

For some reason, I can\'t get this to work.

My options list is populated dynamically using these scripts:

function addOption(selectId, value, text, sele         


        

Answer 1

Pardon my ignorance, but why are you using $('.salesperson') instead of $('#salesperson') when dealing with an ID?
