I'm trying to set the first of a few to set as selected I have <select name="id[21]" class="atributosSort"> <option value="107">1. Sin adaptadores de video (+$45)</option> <option value="108">2. Mini Displayport to DVI (+$112)</option> <option value="109">3. Mini Displayport to VGA</option> </select> I tried jQuery(".atributosSort")[0].selectedIndex = 0; and jQuery(".atributosSort option:first").attr('selected','selected'); both discussed at How to make first option of <select > selected with jQuery? but when I inspect the DOM, no attribute is added to any I'm using jQuery() because I'm in noConflict mode. Could that be the issue? When I run both attempts to get the selected value I don't get any error in the Script Console Another thing that might be relevant is that I'm sorting the options with this function sortDropDownListByText() { // Loop for each select element on the page. jQuery("select").each(function() { // Keep track of the selected option. var selectedValue = jQuery(this).val(); // Sort all the options by text. I could easily sort these by val. jQuery(this).html(jQuery("option", jQuery(this)).sort(function(a, b) { return a.text == b.text ? 0 : a.text < b.text ? -1 : 1 })); // Select one option. //jQuery(this).val(selectedValue); }); } // Use jQuery via jQuery(...) jQuery(document).ready(sortDropDownListByText); I commented jQuery(this).val(selectedValue); out because I thought that that line was setting some option as selected and then I can't override it but that makes no difference. Any ideas? Thanks
