Again, this is just a quick note about how to select an option with jQuery and remove the selected attribute.

$("#id-select :selected").removeAttr("selected");
$('#id-select').val('[value you need to select]');

As you can see, it is not enough just to select a new value using .val() because the selected attribute will stay on the form item and when you submit the form, the old value will be used.
