There shouldn't be an issue, so long as "existingCase.records.Spin_Off__c" has a correct value.
Do your option elements have explicitly defined values? Like this: <option value="Yes">Yes</option> <option value="No">No</option> <option value=""> </option> If not, try changing your markup and see if that helps.

Each <select> is given 3 options: "Yes", "No", and "". I am trying to set the <select> value using jQuery but running into trouble in Firefox 3.0.4 and Safari 3 - both in Windows. My code does seem to run properly in IE7. Some code: $("#00N80000002fnHx").val(existingCase.records.Spin_Off__c); Is this a known issue in these browsers? Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
