[UPHPU] dynamically selecting an option

[Wade Preston Shearer]

In case someone else needs to do this, I'll share something I just  
learned (read: wasted a bunch of time on):

If you want to dynamically select an option within a select element,  
the following won't work (using jQuery):

$('option').attr('selected', 'selected');


You have to use selectedIndex on the select, like this:

$('select').get(0).selectedIndex = value;


It's interesting that the first option doesn't work since this does:

$('input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
