2,036 PointsDrop Down box
I have a wordpress site that use an appointment plug in called "appointzilla" so users can select a date and service of their choosing and schedule with the owner of the site, my client.
The site url is: http://myimmigrationadvice.com/book-your-appointment/
What I would like to know is can I use one of the values in the drop down box under the heading "Select Service:" to display one of the options when the page loads instead of the current default value which is "Select Service." Any help is appreciated, thanks!

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('select option:contains("Deposit (30min/$500)")').prop('selected',true);
});
I tried it in the Chrome Console and it worked on your site. There may be a simpler method but this one seems to work for me. You can literally copy and paste the text of the option you would like selected into the parenthesis... just don't forget the quotes.
