Hi, I have :
<select id="state" name="state" type="text"><option value=""></select> the list of options is assigned in an Ajax call in jQuery (document).ready, and the selected option is assigned with jQuery("select#state").val(mystate); This works with Firefox and Opera, it correctly shows the choice, however in Safari, it will not reflect the changes until the field state receives focus, anyway to force Safari to display it when it is assigned the value? Thanks. A.C.
