Change the selected value of a drop

I have a drop-down list with known values. What I'm trying to do is set the drop down list to a particular value that I know exists using jQuery. Using regular JavaScript, I would do something like:

ddl = document.getElementById("ID of element goes here");
ddl.value = 2; // 2 being the value I want to set it too.

However, I need to do this with jQuery, because I'm using a CSS class for my selector (stupid ASP.NET client ids...).

Here are a few things I've tried:

$("._statusDDL").val(2); // Doesn't find 2 as a value.
$("._statusDDL").children("option").val(2) // Also failed.

How can I do it with jQuery?

Update

So as it turns out, I had it right the first time with:

$("._statusDDL").val(2);

When I put an alert just above it works fine, but when I remove the alert and let it run at full speed, I get the error

Could not set the selected property. Invalid Index

I'm not sure if it's a bug with jQuery or Internet Explorer 6 (I'm guessing Internet Explorer 6), but it's terribly annoying.

jQuery's documentation states:

[jQuery.val] checks, or selects , all the radio buttons, checkboxes, and select options that match the set of values.

This behavior is in jQuery versions 1.2 and above.

You most likely want this:

$("._statusDDL").val('2');

---

With hidden field you need to use like this:

$("._statusDDL").val(2);
$("._statusDDL").change();

or

$("._statusDDL").val(2).change();

---

Just an FYI, you don't need to use CSS classes to accomplish this.

You can write the following line of code to get the correct control name on the client:

$("#<%= statusDDL.ClientID %>").val("2");

ASP.NET will render the control ID correctly inside the jQuery.
