find(".class") behaves different in IE / Moz when element has more than one class

[[email protected]…]

<div id="parent">

<select class="classone classtwo">

<option value="1" selected>one</option> <option value="2">two</option>

</select>

</div>

<script type="text/javascipt">

alert ($("#parent").find(".classtwo").val()); works in Chrome but not in IE.

</script>

Could this be a problem with alert()? Or perhaps running your script before document ready?

I created a small test page (​http://bobholt.me/10492.html) and got the expected result in IEs 9, 8, 7, and 6 as long as I wrote it to the page and didn't use alert().

This code on my test page seems to work:

$(function(){
 $('#result1').html( $("#parent").find(".classone").val() ); // 1
 $('#result2').html( $("#parent").find(".classtwo").val() ); // 1
});

Yep, sorry. I did the same with this code and it worked in IE. I must be having some other issue but jumped to this conclusion without checking properly.

find is all good...
