We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub.

IE6 does not transfer selected items to select box on right

Description

There is an ie6 bug (possibly other browsers as well) where cloned select elements do not retain the selected status on elements.

from the jquery bug forum i think this bug is a "won't fix" due to performance issues.
here is how i patched this plugin to fix:

after line:
theForm.find('#' + leftID).append(opts);
added:
//fixes ie6 bug, where cloned select boxes do not retain selected options
//ensures items are selected after clone
$(this).find('option:selected').each(function(){
var v = $(this).attr('value');
$('#' + leftID).find('option[value="' + v + '"]').attr('selected','selected');
});

I was posting on your blog, but then it died and wouldn't let me post anymore with a 404
cheers,
Ben
