This is my select box which i am populating through datbase table.
$('.sheUpdate').click(function(){
var deptment = $(this).attr('dptname');
var deptid = $(this).attr('dptid');
i want to make this one as SELECTED ITEM ON THE Select box
$("#Deptmentselectbox").prepend('<option value='+deptid+'>'+deptment+'</option>')
});
This is my jquery code. When i click ".sheUpdate" link i have couple of values that i am grabing using attr function. i am grabing depatment name and department value which i want to show as the SELECTED ITEM ON THE SELECT BOX
