Using $("#select-id").prop("selectedIndex") In A Select Statement
<p>OK, so I've been made to understand that using this</p>

<pre><code>$("#select-id").prop("selectedIndex")
</code></pre>

<p>in conjunction with this</p>

<pre><code>$("#select-id").prop("selectedIndex", 1)
</code></pre>

<p>Would help obtain the results I'm looking for in getting certain elements passed back to a select statement, but I cannot find any examples of usage for this.  </p>

<p>Lets say I have 6 elements in the select, and I have them being compared against something in another field. What would be the recommended way to set this up? I understand use a for loop, and then an if statement to iterate through the values, but I don't quite get how to use the aforementioned .prop statements. </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<pre><code>function compareAmts($FIELDSwitchText, $FIELDSwitchPull)
{
var SwitchAdv = 0;
temp = $("#FIELD_SwitchPull").val();
var SwitchComm = parseInt(temp.replace(/\,/g,''));

if($("#FIELD_SwitchText").val()!=""){
    SwitchAdv = parseInt($("#FIELD_SwitchText").val());
</code></pre>

<p>Basically this collects the information, I then need to use the 2 lines above in a For Loop to Get and Set the SelectedIndex, and thus the Select DropDown</p>
