title: IE not clearing select value
body: <p>i am using a simple piece of jquery to clear the contents of the select in a form, but in iE all versions, the select is not clearing. it is ok in FF, just not doing it in IE. can anyone see where i have gone wrong with this? i have posted the relevant part of the code. thanks</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>what i am trying to achieve is when a form is submitted the inputs are cleared and the select/option returns to it default state like when the page was loaded.</p>
  
  <p>Answer if it will help anyone else: $("select").prop('selectedIndex', 0);</p>
  
  <pre><code>/*Show submitted*/
  //$(".done").show(500).slideUp(300).delay(800).fadeIn(400);
  $(".done").html("&lt;div id=\"boxSuccess\"&gt;Message sent successfully!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;");
  /*Clear input values*/
  $("input").val("");
  /*Clear slelect values*/
  $("select").val("");
  $(".done").fadeIn(4000).fadeOut(4000);
  </code></pre>
