How can I remove options from a select using jQuery?
<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>
