Hi,

I am unable to select dropdown value when i created it dynamically.

Java

var ddlValidation = $("<select id='ddlValidation'/>");
 $(ddlValidation ).append("<option value=1>" + "Value1" + "</option>");
$(ddlValidation ).append("<option value=2>" + "Value2" + "</option>");
$(ddlValidation ).append("<option value=3>" + "Value3" + "</option>");
$(ddlValidation ).append("<option value=4>" + "Value4" + "</option>");

$(ddlValidation ).val(2);

Here i am unable to select Value2.

Please suggest.

try this, tested working..
No need to apply jquery to an existing jquery object

HTML

<html lang="en-US">
<head>
    <script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
      <script> 
        $(function () { 
            var ddlValidation = $("<select id='ddlValidation'/>");
            ddlValidation.append("<option value=1>" + "Value1" + "</option>");
            ddlValidation.append("<option value=2>" + "Value2" + "</option>");
            ddlValidation.append("<option value=3>" + "Value3" + "</option>");
            ddlValidation.append("<option value=4>" + "Value4" + "</option>");
            ddlValidation.val(2);
            $('#divmain').append(ddlValidation);
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>

     <div id="divmain">
     </div>
</body>
</html>

Thank you @F-ES Sitecore.

But, This is didn't work.

It worked for me. Obviously I made the assumption that you were adding the select to the page after you'd created it, it's pointless posting only a small snippet of code and not explaining the problem or the context and if a solution doesn't help you just say it "doesn't work".

You'll need to explain in more detail.

This worked for me too !. You should post more detailed code. Problem must be somewhere else in code.
