Select option programattically

[KongoSalim]

Select method to get option selected can be done by either passing index or by passing value is not working when values have integer numbers. it is giving priority to index and considered value as index hence it is selecting very different option as per index.

The value attribute type is actually a string no matter what you intend it to be. Try passing "4" instead of 4 to the method and it should work as you'd expect it to.
