erratic results with .val() assignment

[jkeane]

When I loop over an array of field names (like so): $.each(populateFields,function() { $("#"+this).val(r.data[this.toLowerCase()]); });

jQuery doesn't always properly assign values to select elements.

Your details are not quite enough to be able to handle this. Could you provide a test case ? a minimalistic html file with the requires html and js to reproduce the problem. Thanks.

Test Case

[nathanhammon]

The test case I've attached works as expected in my versions of FF, Opera, and Safari (all latest). It does not work in any version of IE (6, 7, 8b1--using IETester).

Any thoughts before I create a patch?

That's not the same situation the reporter described.

Test Case 2

[nathanhammon]

Test Case 2 attached, using code identical to the reporter's. I cannot get this one to fail anywhere. Worksforme?

Original test case will be filed as a new bug since the issue is apparently different.

Ok, it's mostly useless to suppose what the reporter meant, he should be the one providing a test case I think. The description is too vague, and the reporter isn't replying. So I'll close this.

To the reporter: if you want, reopen with a valid test case.
