I am trying to set a default category in a form by setting a parameter in the url
i already tried this js:

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
    jQuery('#category select option[value="12"]').attr("selected",true);
  

})

this works...

but how can i change the value from 12 to a url parameter?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You need to add the jQuery code to grab the URL param value.

For exmample:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $.urlParam = function(name){
    var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
    if (results==null){
       return null;
    }
    else{
       return decodeURI(results[1]) || 0;
    }
}
 param =  $.urlParam('student'); 
   
jQuery('#category select option[value="'+param+'"]').attr("selected",true);
});

Where:
- student with your URL param name
