title: checking if value in dropdown list
body: <p>I have the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td id="filter_analyst"&gt;
  &lt;select&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;mike1&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;mike2&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;mike3&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>and i'm trying to check if some value exist:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var name = 'mike1';
  alert(name);
  var t = ($("#filter_analyst").find("[value='"+name+"']").length) &gt; 1;
  alert(t);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But getting false...</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong?
