test file for jquery validator bug in IE8

[BalusC]

Excuse, the file is called jquery.validate.js, but that should have been obvious enough.

This problem doesn't occur in IE6 and IE7 by the way, as in any alternative browser I have here (FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome).

FYI: it works when I change the following part in line 875

$.browser.msie

by

$.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 8

If I recall correctly, some jQuery guy ever said that browser detection is a big no-no in jQuery. So I would rewrite the lines where browser detection is involved.

This because of "no value attribute".

Put "value" attribute to all "<option>".

Put "value" attribute to all "<option>".
