Selected options are not visible in select BOX if I select using jQuery
<p>I have a multi select box with few options. I wrote a jQuery script to select few options on page load based on some conditions(Lets say 2 options out of 10 selected from script). After loading a page, the select box has the selected options but not visible(these 2) i.e. when I click on dropdown of select box, I'm able to see only remaining options(other 8 options).</p>

<p>FYI, it is in JIRA application, each selected option is like options in "Ask Question form, tag box items" in this site.</p>

<p>Could you please help me on this.
Do I need to invoke any events from jQuery?</p>

<p>Here is the code, tried following options :( :</p>

<pre><code>    equalverOption.attr("selected", "selected");
    equalverOption.data("descriptor").selected(true);
    equalverOption.trigger('select');
    equalverOption.select();
</code></pre>
