This problem also arises when using the form plugin.  I thought it
would be easy to fix but it turns out that IE resolves options without
values to have a value identical to the empty string.  That is, if
there is not a value attribute on the option element the following is
true in IE:

value === ""

and so is this:

$(...).attr('value') === ""

That is really unfortunate.  If often use an empty string as the
value, like this:

<option value="">ALL</option>

and in that case I want the empty string posted, not the "ALL" text.
Programatically there doesn't seem to be a way to tell them apart in
IE.  Anyone have any ideas?
