Topic: Selecting option in dropdown select not working as expecting

ignacio.ambia free asked 5 years ago


Hi everybody.

I am trying to select an option in a dropdown select automatically the select has the classes :

and to select the code i use :$('#select_department_update_jt_selector').val({option to be selected});

The code above works perfect but when i select an option with an '&' the page renders '&' as the option selected. Hope someone can help me

If I manually select the option, this doesn't happen.

I also tried running :$('#select_department_update_jt_selector option').filter(function() { return ($(this).val() == data.fk_department_job_title); }).attr('selected',true);

but the output is the same
