I have a select element.

<select class='cSelectType'>
        <option value="1">one</option>
        <option value="2">two</option>
        <option value="3">three</option>
        <option value="4">four</option>
        <option value="5">five</option>
</select>

i can by jquery set option value selected like this:

$('.cSelectType option[value=4]').attr('selected', 'selected');

And select element will show "Four". By i wont something like this:

$('.cSelectType option[xxx=Four]').attr('selected', 'selected');
