Question

This code works in all browsers except for older IE versions. It’ll be accessed by users, some of whom are still using IE7. I’m not a coder and the author isn’t available until next week so I’m at loss how to refactor it so that all browsers show only the options defined in chk.

    for (var x=1;x<5;x++){
      var st='select[name="Score_'+x+'e"] option';
      $(st).each(function(){
        var chk=',0,1,2,3,4,5,,,,,,--,';
        var sn=','+$.trim(this.innerHTML)+',';
        if (chk.indexOf(sn)==-1){$(this).hide();}
      });
      st='#tableScoringInfoBox'+x+' strong';
      $(st).html('1-10 Ratings explained');
    }

Answer 1

A quick fix would be to simply replace .hide() with .remove(), though there’s no way of knowing without seeing more code if that will impact something else.
