Question

I have a <select></select> now the list contains some option like a, b, and c now i want that when user enters a in textbox and click button a should be selected in select list, and henceforth, can anyone help me to achieve this in JQuery.

Answer 1

Assuming that this is your select:

<select>
    <option id="a" value="a"/>
    <option id="b" value="b"/>
    <option id="c" value="c"/>
    <option id="d" value="d"/>
</select>

And this is you input

<input type="text" id="textbox" /> <input type="button" id="button"/>

And this is your script

<script>
    $('#button').click(new function(){
        var option = $("#textbox").val();
        $('select #'+option).attr("selected='true'"); 
    });
</script>

Will this work?
