Setting the value of a select2 input with jquery

Question

I am attempting to set a select2 value using jquery. This is likely a duplicate question but I have read 30 different responses on here and haven't found one that solves my problem. HTML code: ```

Account Thing

Accepted Answer

Try this: You can select it by select id. Live demo : http://jsfiddle.net/5Y9mG/10/

```
  $(document).ready(function(){

$(document).on("keydown", function(e) {

// ignore unless CTRL + ALT/COMMAND + N was pressed
     if (!(e.keyCode == 78 && e.ctrlKey && e.altKey )) return;
        $('#location_account_associations_attributes_0_account_id option:eq(1)').prop('selected', true)
     });
});
```

You also select it by id and value like this:

```
 $('#location_account_associations_attributes_0_account_id option[value="1"]').prop('selected', true)
```
