To get or set the **dynamic, possibly-user-changed** value, use .prop("value") or (preferred) .val().

Once this is landed: To get the **value attribute** on the HTML element, use .attr("value").

milestone: 1.8 → 1.9

Looking into this more, the value attribute is very fleeting in IE6/7. These browsers try very hard not to give you the attribute rather than the property, even when using attribute nodes. Internally, I'd guess it has something to do with the value attribute corresponding to the defaultValue property rather than the value property (which I also tried but it was worse). The main problem is that if the value attribute is set on pageload, the specified property for value attribute nodes works fine. However, if it has not been set and is set with js, the specified property will continue to be false and be unreliable. This has happened with other attributes and we've simply checked for empty string to see if we should return a value. This solution won't work for value since value="" is not at all uncommon to see on option elements. I don't think we'll have a clean solution before the beta so moving to 1.9.

This hook should be moved to the compat plugin.
