Changing selected option is not working right

[photonite]

When submitting a form the first option value is always being submitted.

I suggest a fix:
(line 40): selected = _select.find('option[value="'+$(this).data('val')+'"]' );
_select.val(selected.val());

this fix worked for me

This is the correct way to select an option in higher jQuery versions than 1.6
_select.find('option[value="' + $(this).data('val') + '"]').prop('selected', true);
