How do you select an option value based on a value

[BuggsyGuy]

I know that you can select an option using the following:

$('#set_value').prop('selectedIndex', 0).selectric('refresh')

However, what happens if you do not know what the index is? How do you select an option based on a given value?

Cheers,

Jay
