Hi,

I seem to be struggling grabbing all select lists first option that are within a particular fieldset ID, and altering their attrbibutes.

I have tried
Code:
        $('#filters select option:first').each(function(){
            $(this).attr('selected',true);
            });

or
Code:
            $('#filters  select option:first').attr('selected',true);

But all it does is reset the first select list not all of them.

I've tried various selector methods using the child chevron '>' , but I can't work it out.

I've thought perhaps I should get all select lists, then for each get their first option, but I don't know how to do a selector against $(this)?

Is it possible to get an array (or JQuery object) of all select lists first options and manipulate them in this way?

Thanks,
1DMF

OK, worked it out, I was on the right track, needed to use 'selector' with ($this)...

Code:
        $('#filters select').each(function(){
            $(this).children('option:first').attr('selected',true);
            });
