How to reset a selectbox with jquery using chrome?

I just want to clear the selection of a html selectbox. The following works fine within Safari and Firefox but does not in Google Chrome:

$('select#selectbox').val(null);

Any ideas?

.val(null) only seems to work in FF and Opera, so I don't think it's a valid use case.

You can unset everything by using selectedIndex as such:

$('#selectbox').prop('selectedIndex', -1);

Note that .prop() only works in jQuery 1.6+, for lower versions you must use .attr().

Interesting. Have you tried plain js?

document.getElementById('selectbox').selectedIndex = -1;

$('select#selectbox').val(null); returns the value attribute of the selected option, you don't need to add select in your selector.

this will do the trick for you..

 $("#selectbox").find("option:selected").removeAttr("selected"); 

you van use this line of code also if you have jQuery1.6

$('#selectbox').prop('selectedIndex', -1);
