Populate item to dropdown by using ajax call and a

问题:

Please see my code below

$(document).ready(function () {
    readddl().done(function () {
        $('#ddlAreas').val("51");
    });

    $("#plusBtn").bind("vclick", function () {
        $('#ddlAreas').val("51");
    });
});

function readddl() {
    var df = $.Deferred();
    var stateID = 18;
    var dropdwonlist = $('#ddlAreas');
    dropdwonlist.empty();
    dropdwonlist.append($('<option></option>').val("--").html("Select Area"));

    if (stateID != undefined && stateID != "--") {
        // Send an AJAX request
        $.getJSON(Config.Url + "Area?status=A&&stateID=" + stateID)
            .done(function (data) {
            // On success, 'data' contains a list of products.
            $.each(data, function (index, item) {
                // Add a list item for the product.
                dropdwonlist.append($('<option></option>').val(item.AREA_ID).html(item.AREA_NAME));

            });
        }).fail(function (d) {
            alert(d);
        })

    }
    return df.promise();
}

I am able to populate item to the dropdown. But i cant set selected value to dropdown. I also try set the selected value by clicking the plus button and it work

Please guide me solution. Thanks

jQuery does not fire the change event when you use val(), so you have to do it yourself for the changes to take effect:

dropdwonlist.val(item.AREA_ID).change();

or

dropdwonlist.val(item.AREA_ID).trigger('change');
