I realized I may have misunderstood your question. Something like the following should work, though I'm not sure about browser support:

$('#adddisplaypage option').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var self = $(this);

  if(self.attr('selected') == '') {
    self.attr('selected', 'selected');
  } else {
    self.attr('selected', '');
  }
});

You can pass an array to the .val() method. For instance:

$('#adddisplaypage').val(['index', 'tour']);

In your click() handler, you could write something like:

$("#adddisplaypage").val("index");

That should select "index", for example.
