[jQuery] select value lost after clone in IE

[Jesse Skinner]

It seems that after a jQuery clone(), the value of select boxes are lost 
in IE (but not Firefox). Try this out:

<div>
        <select>
                <option value="0">one</option>
                <option value="1" selected='selected'>two</option>
        </select>
</div>

$(function(){
    $('div').clone(true).appendTo('body');
});

The first option will be selected in the cloned select.

Doing something like this fixes the problem (as long as there is only 
one select box), though I suspect there needs to be a better fix in 
jQuery explicitly:

$(function(){
    var old = $('div');
    var clone = old.clone(true);
    var select_val = $('select', old).val();
    $('select', clone).val(select_val);
    clone.appendTo('body');
});

Cheers,
