How do I use Jquery to find and select a Multi Select option by the Value?
I can't seem to figure out how to correctly select a Multi Select option by the Value and leave the other options that are selected alone.
Update It does work, thanks! I had the multi-select hidden and I thought firebug would update the option to "selected" but it doesn't. When I "show" the multi-select box after setting the attr to selected, it was sele开发者_运维知识库cted. So that was also part of my problem, what firebug was showing me behind the scene.
To select an individual option, leaving the rest alone:
$("#selectID option[value='" + myValue + "']").attr('selected', 'selected');
Or, alternatively since .val()
returns an Array in the multiselect case:
var vals = $("#selectID").val();
vals.push(myValue);
$("#selectID").val(vals);
You can use the following to find and select multi select dropdown
$('#selectID ').children("option[value=" + myValue + "]").prop("selected", true);
