Hi!
I recently came across the same problem. It seems that IE8 sets
'selected' attribute for all options in select-boxes by default to
false.
Assume you have a select-box:
<select name="abc">
<option name="1">1</option>
</select>
When you load the page, obviously this select will be visible and the
first (default) option will be selected. And in any browser (but IE8)
when you read it's 'selected' attribute, it will be true:
$('option[name=1]').attr('selected') == true
IE8 behaves in a different way and sets it by default to false. When
you click on a select box and choose some option manually, the
behavior of the browser goes back to normal, and correct option has
selected==true.
This behavior breaks serializeArray() - it does not gather information
about select-boxes with default value. I did a simple workaround for
my personal usage, but I'm not sure if it's "pretty" (well... I'm sure
it's not):
in the file jquery-1.3.2.js
line: 438:
if ( option.selected || (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version
== 8) ) {
context, lines 435 - 451:
for ( var i = one ? index : 0, max =
one ? index + 1 :
options.length; i < max; i++ ) {
var option = options[ i ];
if ( option.selected ||
(jQuery.browser.msie &&
jQuery.browser.version == 8) ) {
// Get the specifc
value for the option
value =
jQuery(option).val();
// We don't need an
array for one selects
if ( one )
return value;
// Multi-Selects return
an array
values.push( value );
}
}
return values;
Hope I made myself clear,
