[jQuery] Dynamic Selects

I am wondering if I'm missing something in my code.

I have a <select> that is populated via
$("#mySelect").load("something.html"). This page of course returns a bunch
of <option value="xx">XXXXX</option>. I have verified that the code is
populated correctly via viewing the source.

After the .load() I try to set the selected value via .val("something").

The option I am trying to select is there. It's as if the .val(xxx) does not
work on a select that is populated this way. Is there something I am
missing? There has to be a work around.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Steffan
