Rob LaPlaca selectbox.js not working for setting value

Question

I have little weird issue with Selectbox.js

I am converting an existing selectbox with below code

var sb = new SelectBox({
    selectbox: $(this),
    height: 140,
    width: "100%"
});

Here $(this) is $('#sltCountry') like below

<select id='sltCountry' name='sltCountry'>
    <option value="1">India</option>
    <option value="2">USA</option>
    <option value="3">UK</option>
</select>

Now what happens that I want to set selected value for $(this) but as I have used SelectBox(), I am not able to do that.

select box is converted into <dl> tags. So explicitly I cannot set value for that what I want to set.

Function I am using to convert all select boxes into SelectBox() type select boxes.

function newSelectBox(obj) {
    $(obj).each(function() {
        var sb = new SelectBox({
            selectbox: $(this),
            height: 140,
            width: "100%"
        });
    });
}

Usage: newSelectBox($('select'));

I have spent many hours to do this but could not succeeded.

Can anyone please help me out?

`$(this)` according to you what should it be? your element you want to apply selectBox which is doesnot seem to be like that. — Jai, Dec 15 '15 at 11:02
can you add the selector or the context in which it is getting executed? — Jai, Dec 15 '15 at 11:03
Did you tried change `$(this)` with `$('#sltCountry')` ?? Maybe your problem is on the scope — Marcos Pérez Gude, Dec 15 '15 at 11:14
@MarcosPérezGude, I cannot do that because I have created a common JS function which automatically searches for `$('select')` elements and converts them into new style. — Smile, Dec 15 '15 at 11:16
If you need to define a selected value by default, change the native `` — Marcos Pérez Gude, Dec 15 '15 at 11:19
I don't know what are you asking, sorry. I don't know what you need to achieve. The code you sharing is correct. Provide a working example. Read this carefully: http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve — Marcos Pérez Gude, Dec 15 '15 at 12:13
