Need to select a drop down list element with a particular attribute value from a list of drop down lists and set its selected value
<p><code>.FilterList</code> is the class name of all the drop down lists    </p>

<pre><code>var $lists = $('.FilterList[ctype="' + ctype + '"]').css('display', 'inline');
</code></pre>

<p>Something like the below works fine but I was wondering if there's a more concise and efficient method
I could use instead of the <code>.each()</code></p>

<pre><code> $lists.each(function () { $(this).attr('filterid') == filterid ? $(this).val(thisval) : null; });
</code></pre>

<p>Whilst I am after something more like:</p>

<pre><code>$lists.first('.FilterList[filterid = "' + filterid + '"]').val(thisval);
</code></pre>
