Description

jQuery 1.6 is not setting the 'value' attribute of an <option> element when using the .val() function.

With the following code

$('<option />').val('48a1b555-4015-498d-ac91-78aab2872364')

jQuery 1.5.2 gives a result of

<option value=​"48a1b555-4015-498d-ac91-78aab2872364">​</option>​

jQuery 1.6 gives a result of

<option>​</option>​

A workaround for the issue is to use

$('<option />').attr('value', '48a1b555-4015-498d-ac91-78aab2872364')

This has been reproduced on IE7 and Chrome.

Made this JSFiddle before realizing the ticket was fixed: http://jsfiddle.net/Fg8xL/1/

Will this fix make it into 1.6.1?
