title: How to set a value for a selectize.js input?
body: <p>I have a form from which I would like to copy some default values into the inputs.  The form inputs are using the selectize.js plugin.  I would like to set some of the form values programatically.  The standard way of doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#my_input").val("My Default Value");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does not work.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried something like this but it does not work either.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $select = $("#my_input").selectize();
  var selectize = $select[0].selectize;
  selectize.setValue("My Default Value"); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  It's got to be easy :)  I'm missing it.</p>
