通过使用ajax从PHP获取数据来预先选择选项

Question

I have a select tag, which option values come from a database via PHP using ajax. The previously selected value is saved in the DB.

I want to display a select showing the previously selected value (which is saved in the DB).

This is the HTML code

<select id='country'></select>

This is the JS code (ajax getting all country list)

$.ajax({
    url: 'country.php',
    scriptCharset: 'ANSI',              
    success:function(result) {
        $('#country').append(result);
    }
});

Let's say I want to show country which value is 27, how can I achieve that?

Answer 1

$.ajax({
url:"country.php",              
scriptCharset: 'ANSI' ,             
success:function(result){       
    $('#country').append(result);

    // Have you tried add this???
    $('#country').val(27);

   }
});
