Trying to set selected value of DropDown in Javascript with encoded value
<p>I have a dropdown which lists heights, like this:</p>

<p>5' 9"<br/>
5' 10"<br/>
5' 11"<br/>
6' 0"<br/></p>

<p>Etc.</p>

<p>When I view source, it looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;option value="5' 9&amp;quot;"&gt;5' 9&amp;quot;&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="5' 10&amp;quot;"&gt;5' 10&amp;quot;&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="5' 11&amp;quot;"&gt;5' 11&amp;quot;&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="6' 0&amp;quot;"&gt;6' 0&amp;quot;&lt;/option&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>How can I set the selected value of my dropdown box via Javascript when those characters are in there?</p>

<p>I tried:</p>

<p>document.GetElementById("myDDL").value = '5\' 11\"';</p>

<p>However that is not working and I'm just taking stabs in the dark.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
