[Solved] Setting Dropdownlist to a value from jquery

[Amit]

Hi All,

My drop down has the following values :
US USA
IN India
and other countries.

In my jquery i want to set the selected item in dropdown to "IN India" by just passing the "India". I would like to know if there is a way to achieve that.

Regards,
Amit

//read the drop down
var dropDownList = $('#Dropdown').data('tDropDownList');

//set the value having item text with india
dropDownList.fill(function () {
        dropDownList.select(function (dataItem) {
            return dataItem.Text == "India";
        });
    });

Hope this helped

regards
