Cascade Plugin - Load or Set Initial Value On Trigger

Cascade Plugin - Load or Set Initial Value On Trigger

Hello,

I am using the Cascade plugin ( http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cascade). I have been searching for a while and haven't found a solution to this yet. I am trying to set the initial selected option when the page loads.

My code:

  1. jQuery(document).ready(function()
  2. {
  3. jQuery("#child1").cascade("#parent1",{
  4. list: items,
  5. template: commonTemplate,
  6. match: commonMatch
  7. });
  8. jQuery("#child1").trigger("cascade");
  9. });

Is there a second parameter I can pass to the trigger with the option value I want to be selected? Something like: 

  1. jQuery("#child1").trigger("cascade", "508");

If not, how can I accomplish this? Thank you very much for your time!
