Probably missing something pretty obvious but I can’t figure out what is going on. I am trying to use jquery to determine the currently selected option in a dropdown (See fiddle) but when I do something like the following I get a Warning in the (FF9) console.

var selectedValue=$('#testSelect option:selected').val();

Warning Message:

Warning: Use of attributes’ specified attribute is deprecated. It always returns true.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this something I should be concerned with? Thanks in advance.

    jquery is referencing the “specified” property on an Attr object, this is depreciated with Firefox 7, and always returns true. see https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Attr

    i’ve raised a jquery ticket for this: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/11397
