title: Find the maximum value in a drop-down list using jQuery?
body: <p>I have a drop-down list with numerical values:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="a"&gt;
     &lt;option value="1"&gt;asdsadas&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="1"&gt;wqecsdc&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="10"&gt;nmnmbn&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="16"&gt;assadsa&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="12"&gt;uuyuyuy&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="60"&gt;xzXz&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="55"&gt;vbbnbnm&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="13"&gt;eerrt&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to find the highest numerical value within this list. (In this case, it's 60.)</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of looping using <code>.each</code>, but is there a shorter way?</p>
