I have a jquery-ui-selectmenu (jquery-ui-1.11.0pre) with only one option in it (for now). Now when i change the text of that value in the original select element i'll have to refresh the selectmenu element. So i do:

$jq("#selectMenu").first().text("newText");
$jq("#selectMenu").selectmenu("refresh");

It seems that now the text of the new option actually changed (in the dropdown menu) but the select value that i see on the button is not updated it is still the old value. How can i fix this?

What about $jq("#selectMenu").selectmenu() instead of refresh? - user1234
this does not have any effect either - Chris
It can't. Wrong API for this version. - fnagel
