Hi, we're using the FormDecorator and I notice on the front end the dropdownlist renders as a div with spans instead of a traditional html select list.
When I try to use jquery to set the selected value after the control renders it doesn't change. I'm guessing because this is technically not a select list anymore.
Is there any work around to this?

Hello Brian,
Handling elements of type select are quite complex and not all their attributes can be monitored, especially in the way jQuery changes them ($("#theSelect").val(newIndex)). What I can suggest is using simple JavaScript to set the new selected item:
I am also attaching here a simple page that shows this in action.
