I have coded for setting a drop down menu's option to a specific value when the text is known but I have encountered a problem. The following code is what I use:
$('#dropDownId option:contains("' + searchText + '")').prop('selected', true).change();
The contains
part of the code won't serve the purpose of the code since the drop down has two options which are sub strings of one another.
Is there a way where I could specify that I want the exact match of the given searchText
??
