how to set selected value in multiselect dropdown using jquery
I hope this will help you: Demo $(document).ready(function() { $("select").multiselect({ selectedText: "# of # selected" }); var hidValue = $("#hidSelectedOptions").val(); alert(hidValue); var selectedOptions = hidValue.split(","); for(var i in selectedOptions) { var optionVal = selectedOptions[i]; $("select").find("option[value="+optionVal+"]").prop("selected", "selected"); } $("select").multiselect('reload'); }); EDIT refresh has been removed from latest jQuery-MultiSelect. Using reload will solve the question now.
