val() on <option> returns text instead of value in ie7
<pre><code>$(this).find('select option:selected').each(function (i, val) {

    var selectedValue = $(val).val(); //this returns the text from the option instead of the value
});
</code></pre>

<p>Is this a known issue in ie7? I didnt find any info about it? Possible workarounds? Thanks</p>
