Menu
I have a drop down:
<select>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
How would I select item 2 programmatically?

Method 1: Using the value property: The value of the selected element can be found by using the value property on the selected element that defines the list. This property returns a string representing the value attribute of the <option> element in the list. If no option is selected then nothing will be returned.
Simply try the following code. var text= $('#yourslectbox'). find(":selected"). text();
A select box also called drop down box provides an option to list down various options in the form of drop down list. You can also preselect a value in dropdown list of items in HTML forms. For that, add selected in the <option> tag for the value you want to preselect.
First get a handle on that select somehow:
var select = document.getElementsByTagName("SELECT")[0];
Then manipulate the selectedIndex property (I believe it's a zero-based index):
select.selectedIndex = 1;
