ok, let me understand you clearly. you want to change every option tag within a select to be a specific value ? if the method you mentioned above does not work try this :
var obj = $(".myclass"); // use jquery to select your SELECT by class var opts = $("option", obj); // find all option tags within that select opts.each(function(i) { // for each option tag - declare i for counting opts.eq(i).attr({ // change the current options attribute value:'my new value' // change the value attribute }); }); On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Morris Li <morris...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi All > > I am having a question and seeking some help from the group. > > What I want to do? - to set the SELECTS that match the citerias to be > defaul option. > > 1: $("select[name^='start_me_']").val(0); > 2: $("select[name^='start_me_']").each(function() { this.value = > 0; }); > > I found 1 doesn't work in IE but FF.
