<select id="gate">
<option value='null'>- choose -</option>
<option value='Gateway 1,Gateway 3'>Gateway 1</option>
<option value='Gateway 2,Gateway 4'>Gateway 2</option>
</select>

$("#gate").val('Gateway 3');

You can do it with this.

$("#gate").val( $("#gate option[value*='Gateway 3']").attr("value") )

With variable

var str = "Gateway 3";
$("#gate").val( $("#gate option[value*='" + str + "']").attr("value") );
