Yes, that's a good thought but IE is too slippery. getAttribute(..), val(), .value, et al, all return "identical" values whether the attribute is missing or it has an empty string. And the value attribute for an option always exists whether or not it appears in the markup. defaultValue doesn't help either. > (and it's probably in the forms plugin already... ;)) Nope, but it will be when we solve this!
