Jquery Select Problem

I am trying to disable a drop down when a value is selected from another drop down using Jquery. However I cannot seem to be able to select the correct value to trigger the attribute addition.

This code disables the drop down whatever is selected!

$(document).ready(function() {
// wait for drop down to change
$('select#dropdown1').change(function() {
// if selected value = triggervalue
if ($('select#dropdown1 option:selected:contains(triggervalue)')) {
$('#dropdown2').attr("disabled",true);
}else{
// remove disable
$('#dropdow2').removeAttr("disabled");
}
});

});

TIA

Andrew
