jquery select remove option
<p>I'm currently using this successfully to remove an option</p>

<pre><code>    $("select#select_gender option[value='initial']").remove();
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a way remove an option without adding to the selector - like below?</p>

<pre><code>    $('select#select_gender').val('initial').remove();
</code></pre>

<p>thx</p>
