jquery find out of selected option has value or not?

Hi there,

Does anyone know a easy way to find out if the selected option has a value? as .val returns in this case the text and i'm looking for a way to let jquery tell me that the option value is empty.

 

Mh...found something on stackoverflow that might help you out

Well i've found out that if you don't use the value="" part in option, jQuery will return the text as the value. Only thing to do is add value="" and the value stays empty!
