How to select items in select menu with Javascript

[Josette]

I would like to use Javascript to automatically select the items in a select menu after they have been loaded. I have tried the following code, but it did not work.

$.each(data, function(index, value) {
Apperyio("messsage_select option[value = " + value.member._id + "]").attr("selected", true);
Apperyio("message_select").selectmenu().selectmenu("refresh", true);
});

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Josette,
You simply need to change value of selectbox with method val()

Can you give an example since your answer is vague. I need to change the attribute to selected via JavaScript for all the items and not the value of the select menu.
