with Validation plugin

this cause a crash in i.e. (I've tested in i.e. 8)

''<option>text</option>''

I debugged the script and see that line cuse the srash

(line 890)

''case 'select':

''var options = $("option:selected", element);''

''...''

so this beacuse of "no value attribute".

If there is no value attribute the form gets the inner text, and the validation should get the inner text, too.
