jQuery Remove All Elements from Select with Value
<p>I have simple select that looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select id="region"&gt;
  &lt;option value=""&gt; -- country -- &lt;/option&gt; 
  &lt;option value="842554592"&gt;Alberta&lt;/option&gt; 
  &lt;option value="708812360"&gt;Ontario&lt;/option&gt;
  ...
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I want to clear non-blank values and am wondering if jQuery has a simple method for this. I'm using:</p>

<pre><code>$('.country').find('option[value!=""]').remove();
</code></pre>

<p>Which seems a bit ugly. Thanks!</p>
