jQuery prevent change for select

Question

I want to prevent a select box from being changed if a certain condition applies. Doing this doesn\'t seem to work:

$(\'#my_select\').bind(\'change\', funct         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me, no need to keep a lastSelected if you know the optionIndex to select.

var optionIndex = ...
$(this)[0].options[optionIndex].selected = true;
