Jquery: Default value with disabling previously selected dropdown value

I found this jfiddle from another Stack post. It works fine except I'm looking to set the default value on the dropdown on load.

Instead of showing "-- Select --" for all 3 dropdown, I'm looking to load the values from a DB, hence it will display an existing value.

Of course this won't work.

<select id="select1"><option value="2">Question2</option></select><br />
<select id="select2"></select><br />
<select id="select3"></select></br>

Just use .val() and trigger the change event.

$('#select1').val(your value).change()

$('#select1').val(1).change();
$('#select2').val(3).change();
$('#select3').val(4).change();

Check Fiddle
