title: How to select an option in a jQuery ui selectmenu dynamically?
body: <p>After changing a menu from a regular select to a jQuery selectmenu, I can no longer select options in it programatically.  Is there a way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>The code to select is (assuming ListId is the actual Id of the list)</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#ListId').val(value);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The plugin is activited like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#ListId").selectmenu({ style: "dropdown", width:140 });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to select an item in the select menu?  Calling the same .val(value) function just selects the value in the hidden original select list, not the nicely styled jQuery selectmenu.</p>
