Jquery selector for getting combox value is not working in IE 8.0.7... version
<p><code>$("select#promoProductList_length").val();</code></p>

<p>The above code is working fine in all browsers (Firefox, chrome, IE) except some specific version of IE 8.</p>

<p>This is giving value as undefined in those browsers.</p>

<p>So I implemented some work around fix.</p>

<p>i.e., </p>

<pre><code>$("#promoProductList_length option:selected").text();
</code></pre>

<p>It is working fine.</p>

<p>What will be the reason that, first line is not working in some specific version of IE?</p>
