title: How to change rendered selected option in select box with jquery
body: <p>I have tried many ways to select an option with jquery including <code>.val("0")</code> <code>.attr('selected', 'selected')</code> and <code>.attr('selected', 'true')</code> and the <a href="http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/select/" rel="nofollow">TexoTela plugin</a>. They all seem to update the html but the browser still shows the last item selected by the user.</p>
  
  <p>Try out <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/jasonparallel/GURje/7/" rel="nofollow">this fiddle</a>... Select the dropdown value 1 and then click the link.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to actually update the displayed value?</p>
