I want to set a dropdown box to whatever has been passed through a querystring using jquery.
How do I add the selected attribute to an option such that the "TEXT" value is equal to a certain param from the query string?
$(document).ready(function() {
var cat = $.jqURL.get('category');
if (cat != null) {
cat = $.URLDecode(cat);
var $dd = $('#cbCategory');
var $options = $('option', $dd);
$options.each(function() {
if ($(this).text() == cat)
$(this).select(); // This is where my problem is
});
};
});
