Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a select control, and in a javascript variable I have a text string. Using jQuery I want to set the selected element of the select control to be the item with the text description I have (as opposed to the value, which I don't have). I know setting it by value is pretty trivial. e.g. $("#my-select").val(myVal); But I'm a bit stumped on doing it via the text description. I guess there must be a way of getting the value out from the text description, but my brain is too Friday afternoon-ed to be able to work it out.
