Question

How can I link the actions of a click function to a select form with jquery.

For exmaple if an image 1 is clicked. How can I let the form know that image 1 is clicked by changing the ‘selected’ option in a form.

<a href="#" rel="green">Green</a>
<select>
 <option value="green">Green</option>
</select>

When “green” is clicked the “selected” option is added to the selection

I know i’ve seen it done before. I just cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks,
Robert

    $('select').val($(this).attr('rel'));
});
