In jQuery mobile 1.3.1, how do you set the selected value to selectmenu?

Question

I have tried many things. Nothing seems to work.

eg:

$('#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 really matches the value in your options: <option value="myval">My value</option>
