[jQuery] How to set selected of Select box which works with Safari as well?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi,

I ajax load a list of options into a Select box and then set the value
to 'AL', this will display the currently selected options as Alaska,
it works with Firefox, but not with Safari,  although the selected one
is 'AL', but it does not show ALASKA in the display, it shows the
first element in the list which is 'new york', why?

here is the url that you can test:

http://catalina.ph/test2.html


$(document).ready(function(){
    var s = jQuery("select#state");
    s.load("http://catalina.ph/states.html";,  function() {
    jQuery("select#state").val("AL");
 })
})

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <select name="state" id="state">
 </select>
</form>
