Question

I have this select element

<select class="zip_plus_master" data-stype='proof'></select>

The values are loaded from a database, where the ID’s of these values is the value of the attribute “data-zipid” for all options. An example option is like this:

<option data-zipid='34'>95628-1092</option>

How can I have an option with a certain data-zipid attribute value selected?

After parsing, the value of “data-zipid” for all options is currentJSONset.value

I’ve tried this:

$('.zip_plus_master[data-stype=proof] option:selected').attr('data-zipid', currentJSONset.value);

Answer 1

To select the option with data-zipid="34":

$('select.zip_plus_master[data-stype=proof] option[data-zipid="34"]').attr('selected', 'selected')
