$('.issuing_country option[text="Japan"]').prop('selected', true);

Best How To :

You shouldn't be trying to set anything like that using jQuery when using knockout - instead, do it all on the viewmodel.

Your <select> options are bound to your issuingCountries observableArray, and the value selected is bound to your IssuingcountrySelected observable. To select an option automatically, just set the property on your viewmodel, and knockout will take care of the rest:

//Assuming "Japan" is at index 2:
vm.IssuingcountrySelected(vm.issuingCountries()[2]);

If all you know is the name of the option you want to select, first you must find the right item, so you'd need a function for that:

function findCountryByName(name) {
    for (var x = 0; x < vm.issuingCountries().length; x++) {
        if (vm.issuingCountries()[x].Country == name)
            return vm.issuingCountries()[x];
    }
    return null;
}
vm.IssuingcountrySelected(findCountryByName("Japan"));

Converting “i+=n” for-loop to $.each

javascript,jquery

A jQuery only way would be to iterate over the nth-child(4n) $('.thumbnail:nth-child(4n)').each(function(){ $(this) .prevAll('.thumbnail').andSelf() .wrapAll($('<div/>',{class:"new"})) }); Demo Considering the complexity, not sure whether the prevAll() performs better than the plain for loop.
