jQuery :selected in IE7

:selected doesn't seem to work in IE7.

var selected_value0 = $("#select").find(':selected').attr('value');

Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/clare73/8TLqs/

Your options list doesn't have a value attribute.. and I assume that you are trying to get the text of the options, not value. If so use .text() like below,

var selected_value0 = $("#select").find(':selected').text();

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/8TLqs/1/

Incase if you are trying to get the value of the selected option, then you can simply use .val() like below,

var selected_value0 = $("#select").val()

For which HTML should be,

<select id="select">
   <option value="1" selected="selected">choice 1</option> 
   <option value="1">choice 2</ option> 
</select>

Don't use .attr('value'), instead use .val()

var selected_value0 = $("#select").find(':selected').val();
