Yep. Now, is that the desired behavior? I automatically thought that it wasn't, but stopping to think about it some more I can see the other side. But...the :disabled pseudo uses the dynamic value and not the DOM attribute, so for consistency's sake it seems like :selected should too. Plus it makes :selected actually useful. I think that same argument would go for @selected. There is always @defaultSelected if you want to know the original value, although I haven't tried it... _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
