[validate] Error with SELECT on IE8 rc1

[tuxom]

There is an error with select evenment on IE8 rc1 for the validate plugin.

The error come from method required: function(value, element, param) where options[0].attributesvalue? is null so options[0].attributesvalue?.specified throw an error.

With IE8, the method to get a select value seems to have changed. A workaround is to add &&($.browser.version<8) into:

return options.length > 0 && ( element.type == "select-multiple"

($.browser.msie && !(options[0].attributesvalue?.specified) ? options[0].text : options[0].value).length > 0);

so the result work :

return options.length > 0 && ( element.type == "select-multiple"

($.browser.msie && ($.browser.version<8) && !(options[0].attributesvalue?.specified) ? options[0].text : options[0].value).length > 0);
