title: javascript get the select dropdownlist internet explorer
body: <p>I have a 7 column table where the Edit mode is handle using javascript.
  clicking on Edit in the row will make 2 columns editable. They change to a dropdown and a textbox respectively and Save Cancel options will show for that row.</p>
  
  <p>Saving works on Firefox but not entirely on IE. IE does not get the value from the dropdownlist. it only saves the value from the textbox.</p>
  
  <p>This is how I select the objects:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var jqInputs = $('input', nRow);
  var jqSelect = $('select', nRow);
  
  jqSelect[0].value  
  jqInputs[0].value   //This is the textbox and it Works
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I must say the source code of the page shows  no sign of the select tag. (When it is already in Edit mode)</p>
