Looking at your options, isn't "N" for Male? So, what exactly is your question?

ya .. If "N" then dropdown should change to Male

Solution 1

Use below code in place of $("#ddlSex").val(item1.Sex).trigger('change');

JavaScript

$("#ddlSex option[value='"+item1.Sex+"']").attr("selected", true)

Thanks for the quick response .. I replaced and tried but it is thorwing a runtime exception
0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Invalid operand to 'in': Object expected

Code:

$.each(item.Sex, function (i,item1) {
if (i == 'N') {
$("#ddlSex option[value='"+item1.Sex+"']").attr("selected", true)
}
});

I'm assuming the item object will look like below,

Code:
var item = [];
item.Sex = ['N', 'M'];
$.each(item.Sex, function (i, item1) {
if (item1 == 'N') {
$("#ddlSex option[value='" + item1 + "']").attr("selected", true)
}
});

hope this works for you.

no still the same error message .. service returing few other values also Gender is one in that response looks like this

Age 3
Altered false
HuntingNumber null
Name James
Sex "N"

What is your object structure?
Is it like,
item=[{Age:3,Altered:false,HintingNumber:null,Sex:"N"},
{Age:5,Altered:false,HintingNumber:null,Sex:"M"}]

If so, then loop on item not on item.Sex

ex: $.each(item,function(I,item1){
if(item1.Sex=='N'){
$("#ddlSex option[value='" + item1 + "']").attr("selected", true);
}
});
