Selector or find bug in jQuery 1.6

[nazar-pc@…]

I used next code with jQuery 1.5 - 1.5.2, but after updating to jQuery 1.6 this code doesn't works. My example:

<select multiple onChange="$(this).find('option[value=\'russian\']').attr('selected', 'selected');" name="core[active_languages][]" size="5">

<option value="english">English</option> <option selected value="russian">Русский</option>

</select>

P.S. Sorry for my english

Works for me: ​http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/9GN8G/1/.

I have the same result on my site, as on: ​http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/9GN8G/1/ But, when change framework to jQuery 1.5.2 - example works good.

Oh, I see the different behavior. I saw it was getting selected on blur, but you'd like it selected before that. Switching to .prop will give you the same behavior as before. Nevertheless, this will work as before in 1.6.1.
