title: How can I remove options from a select using jQuery?
body: <p>Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function onAjaxDone(data) {
      var topicID;
  
      $('#TopicID')
          .html(data);
  
      topicID = store.getItem('TopicID');
      if (topicID) {
          $("#TopicID")
              .val(topicID);
          $('option[value="88"]', this).remove();
          $('option[value="99"]', this).remove();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error saying "failed strict" and pointing to the lines with "this".  What I want to do is to remove the option lines with a value of 88 and 99 for the select element with id of TopicID. Am I coding this wrong? This was an example given to me but I am not sure why the "this" is there on those two lines. </p>
