Selecting an option by its text

Is there any way how to choose the option in selectbox by th开发者_JAVA百科e text label of the option (not the value)?

<select id="form-mySelect" name="number">
    <option value="0">Zero</option>
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
</select>


$("#form-mySelect").val("One");

The example above doesn't work in jQuery 1.4.3. I've read somewhere, that in some lower version of jQuery selecting option by >text label< (not by the value) works.

Is there any way, how to simulate this behavior and make it functional in jQuery 1.4.3?

You can use $('#form-mySelect").html() to get the label contents. So you could loop all options and compare the html() value with one given and then select the option.
