That's not true and the discussion goes into the wrong direction now: The val function works for selects, textareas and inputs: http://stilbuero.de/demo/jquery/val.html. Wether that is buggy or not in one or the other browser is another question. I think the original concern was, that the val() function doesn't support values for multiple checked checkbox and selects... -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
