jquery auto select dropdown value
<p>I am working within miva system so lets just say its a nightmare.  I have the following code that I have to work with</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select name="ShippingMethod"&gt;
&lt;option value="mvfedexsoap:FEDEX_2_DAY"&gt;FedEx 2Day® ($15.91)&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="mvfedexsoap:GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY"&gt;FedEx Home Delivery® ($13.36)&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="mvfedexsoap:PRIORITY_OVERNIGHT"&gt;FedEx Priority Overnight® ($20.15)&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="mvfedexsoap:STANDARD_OVERNIGHT"&gt;FedEx Standard Overnight® ($18.41)&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My only option within this store is to work with jquery.  I am fairly new to jquery so I would appreciate any help you are willing to give me.</p>

<p>On page load I want it to select the cheapest option. The method I was thinking of was to somehow collect the text within the option parse out the price then compare and select the lowest value. If you have something that may help I thank you ahead of time.</p>
