Some browsers return value="" when the options themselves don't have value
attributes. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure $(this).val() won't solve the
problem. You can however do something like this:
var selitem = this.value || this.options[this.selectedIndex].text;
I.e. set selitem to value if it exists or to the the text of the selected
option if it doesn't
