In jquery mobile 1.3.1 how do you set selected value in a selectmenu?

Question

I have tried numerous things. Nothing seems to work.

for example:

$('#select').val(myval).selectmenu('refresh');
$('#select').val(myval).attr('selected', 'selected');
$('#select').val(myval).prop('selected',true);

Answer 1

$('#select').val(myval).selectmenu('refresh');

Just make sure myval actually matches a value in your options: <option value="myval">My value</option>
