Form not reading the select attribute when added option via ajax
I am prepending an <option> via ajax like this:
success: function(data) {
jQuery('#usp-cat-combo-1').prepend('<option selected="selected" value="'+data.cat_id+'">'+data.cat_name+'</option>');
}
The thing is when I submit the form, that option says not selected and I need to manually select it, even tho I have given the attribute selectedwhen I added it

Try setting value of the <select> instead of setting selected attribute on the option
jQuery('#usp-cat-combo-1')
.prepend('<option value="'+data.cat_id+'">'+data.cat_name+'</option>');
.val(data.cat_id)
Note this assumes the <select> is not a multiple. If it is a multiple can set prop('selected',true) on the new first child

What you have to do:
Defined the option which you want to select by default like:
var selected;
success: function(data) {
data.cat_id=='1' ? selected = 'selected="selected"' : selected = '';
jQuery('#usp-cat-combo-1').prepend('<option '+selected+' value="'+data.cat_id+'">'+data.cat_name+'</option>');
}
Now it just add Selected Attribute at one option that you defined not every option.
Note :
- Assume that you have data as an array.
- You can use data.cat_name or other as you want instead of cat_id to defined your Selected Option.
Feel free to comment for more help or other simplification :)

Now it just add Selected Attribute at one option that you defined not every option.
