Description
When using a selector such as;
$('select#age').val()
to get current selected value (in this case a drop down containing age ) from a <select/> element.
Internet Explorer (IE) doesnt fallback to use node content...e.g. needs value attribute
ex. doesnt work
<option>1</option>
ex. works
<option value="1">1</option>
checking on firefox this is not a problem, on IE 6 up to IE 7 (win 2000 and winxp)
cheers, Jim

This is not a bug. The val() method makes no attempt at solving cross-browser issues like this. It simply returns the current value of the element's value property. FF implicitly promotes an option element's text to the value property if the value attribute is missing.
