@BRAVO, I'd suggest using `...attr('selected', true);` rather than `'selected','selected'` but this **does** (or **should**) work. [Demo at: JS Fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/davidThomas/Chtdk/).

A:
also
$("#name option[text=peter]").attr("checked", "checked");
works.

It should be $("#name option[text=peter]").attr("selected", "selected"); as it is a select box other option is $("#name option:contains('peter')").attr('selected', 'selected');
