How can I programmaticaly set a value of a multiselect control? about multiselect HOT 3 CLOSED

You cannot directly set .val() to a SELECT element, but only on the OPTION elements. But I would advise not manipulate your SELECT outside the Multiselect widget as there are no listeners on the OPTION, so directly setting an OPTION to selected (.attr('selected', 'selected')) will not select the item in the widget. You could wait until the trunk project has added this feature, you can add it and submit your code/patch, or check my branch. The only thing is that the last option is under development and features tend to change from time to time, until I get satisfied with the code. :) ... The widget will have two months old tomorrow.... wow!

There are no solution due to DOM limitations. So far, there are no plans for OPTION elements to have any DOMEvent whatsoever; this is why methods like some extra helper methods were added. See my unofficial demo page for more info. These methods should be available in the trunk version as well. http://yanickrochon.uuuq.com/multiselect/
