Hi -
I'm experiencing the same problem with IE6 where I get an error "Could
not set the selected property. Unspecified error" when executing the
code:
$("option:first", "#my_select").attr("selected",true);
OR $("option:first", "#my_select").attr("selected","selected");
OR $("#my_select").children("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"+my_value+"]").attr("selected",
"selected");
It seems that there is a bug with IE6 when trying to apply .attr
after .children -
It works perfectly with IE7 / Firefox / Safari.
Thanx for your help - Ben
