Select blank TextArea with value='' selector
<p>I have a text area that is required to be filled in before continuing on with a particular process.</p>

<p>For normal text boxes I can retrieve all the blank inputs by adding the attribute selector [value=''] the the selection string.</p>

<p>When I do that with text area it does not work.</p>

<p>If I am in IE and not in strict mode it does work, but that I not something that I want to do.</p>

<p>If I first select all text areas and then perform a filter call with [value=''] as the selector it does work.</p>

<p>Is this by design?  It makes sense from the standpoint that a text area does not really have a value attribute, but I would guess that the filter call would not work.</p>

<p>Here is an example code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"&gt;
&lt;HTML&gt;
&lt;HEAD&gt;
    &lt;SCRIPT SRC="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;

    &lt;SCRIPT&gt;
        $(function () {
            var Rslt1 = $("textarea[value='']").size(); 
            var Rslt2 = $("textarea").filter("[value='']").size();
            alert(Rslt1 + ' ' + Rslt2);
        })
    &lt;/SCRIPT&gt;
&lt;/HEAD&gt;
&lt;BODY&gt;
    &lt;TEXTAREA&gt;&lt;/TEXTAREA&gt;
&lt;/BODY&gt;
&lt;/HTML&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>In IE 8, Chrome 4 and Firefox 3.6 the result is 0 1 as described above.</p>
