Question

I am trying to retain a selected value in the dropdown after posting the page.

Description of scenario

These are my dropdown options

<select id="JqueryDDownForAvailableFrom">
<option value="17:00">17:00</option>
<option value="18:00">18:00</option>
</select>

Before submitting the Page, I am assigning the value to a variable using the below line.

var selectedVal=$("#JqueryDDownForAvailableFrom")

After submitting the page the same dropdown should retail its value.

I do not want to change in options, but want to display the selected value after posting the form.

I have used this one:

This is adding anew option to the dropdown.

$('#JqueryDDownForAvailableTo').append('<option selected="true" value='+selectedValTo+'>' +selectedValTo + '</option>')

I have used this one

This is not selecting the selected value:

  $('#JqueryDDownForAvailableTo').val(selectedValTo);

I tried to find on google but failed.

Any assistance please.
