<select> <option value="0" selected="selected">Or</option> <option value="1">And</option> </select>

<select> <option value="0">Or</option> <option value="1">And</option> </select>

<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" />

<input type="checkbox" />

​ ==============================

$(document).ready(function(){

alert($(':checked').length+ ' ' + $(':checkbox:checked').length+' '+$(':selected').length);

});​

This is desired behavior and the design of the :checked selector.

However, this is a jQuery documentation issue. We will make an issue on api.jquery.com.
