I am trying to use \"Chosen\" plugin by harvest (http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/) and it works for the static set of options I am passing. However, what I want is that w
var newOption = new Option("Text", __value__);
$("#tagSelection").append(newOption);
**/* add this line */
$("#tagSelection").val(__value__);**
$("#tagSelection").trigger("liszt:updated");
