Select the first value of DropDown List using jQuery.

There are mostly 3 ways:

  1. $("#target").val("thevalue");
    Just make sure the value in the options tags matches the value in the val method.

  2. $("#target").val($("#target option:first").val());

  3. $("#target").prop("selectedIndex", 0);
