[SOLVED] jquery: change pulldown menu selected item with a button click?

[schilly]

Is this possible? What is the best way to go about doing this?

 

Would I have to find the current selected option, remove the selected attribute then set the option I want selected?

 

Thanks.

Just select the one you want selected. HTML will DTRT by un-selecting whatever is selected to the one you/the code selected.
