It looks like a similar issue has been discussed previously, but for
IE6:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/4c0cf8bc2a295382/572c4b1c1c2548cd
I confirmed that $("#state [EMAIL PROTECTED]'KY']").attr("selected",
"selected"); does not work in Safari 3 (on windows), but I was able to
get the following to work:
$('#state option[value="KY"]')[0].selected = true;
I put some alert statements in and when using the jQuery attr to set
selected, and even though the value of option is set correctly, the UI
doesn't get updated.
