In this post we will see how we can make the selected property to the last option of a select or drop down or combo box. We will use a jquery selector for making the last option as selected.
Consider I have a following select element.
[html]
<select name="mySelect" id="mySelect" class="select">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>
[/html]
Now by default we need that last option as selected right? To do that we can use the following script.
[js]
$("#mySelect option:last").attr("selected", "selected");
[/js]
Here mySelect is the ID of our element.
