Bigcommerce Template: How to dynamically control 'Quantity' per item?

Question

I am modifying a Bigcommerce template. The requirement is to modify the selected value in Quantity dropdown based on other inputs by users. (I have achieved that in jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/xuC6f/14/)). Question is: How do I, in bigcommerce template, control Quantity? i.e.,

$("#qty_").val(keyTechPercentage);

When I check the Source Code, it seems there's an ITEM_ID that's attached to QTY_ that makes it look like

<select id="qty_53df2e8f36bb9" ...>

Thanks a lot in advance!

The ID would be different for each item (am sorry, if that's what you meant to ask earlier), though it may be the same for the ID across time and space. — skoh, Aug 05 '14 at 07:33
Does the parent of your select have a consistent id? If so you can select that instead to get at the quantity value. That being said I still don't know what problem you're having. — Quentin Engles, Aug 05 '14 at 08:24
I think I see what your problem is now. Try this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4590311/set-option-selected-attribute-from-dynamic-created-option — Quentin Engles, Aug 05 '14 at 08:31
On your fiddle I changed it with var opt = $("#qty_").val(7).selected(); — Quentin Engles, Aug 05 '14 at 08:49
I've also changed it with var opt = $(".AddCartButton select").val(9).selected(); — Quentin Engles, Aug 05 '14 at 08:51

These will do it.

var opt = $("#qty_").val(7).selected();

var opt = $(".AddCartButton select").val(9).selected();
