Find the maximum value in a drop-down list using jQuery?
<p>I have a drop-down list with numerical values:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select name="a"&gt;
   &lt;option value="1"&gt;asdsadas&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="1"&gt;wqecsdc&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="10"&gt;nmnmbn&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="16"&gt;assadsa&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="12"&gt;uuyuyuy&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="60"&gt;xzXz&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="55"&gt;vbbnbnm&lt;/option&gt;
   &lt;option value="13"&gt;eerrt&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I need to find the highest numerical value within this list. (In this case, it's 60.)</p>

<p>I was thinking of looping using <code>.each</code>, but is there a shorter way?</p>
