selection / deselection has issues with jQuery 1.9

[michelgre]

jQuery 1.9 obsoleted the way boolean attributes such as 'selected' are handled.
Thus the selection / deselection of ui.multiselect doesn't work properly anymore with some browsers (Firefox 18).

To reproduce:

• use Firefox 18.0
• create a page with ui.multiselect and jQuery 1.9
• select all options: it works
• deselect all options: it works
• select all options again: it doesn't work.

Fix:
Change the occurences of:
attr('selected','selected') => prop('selected', true)
removeAttr('selected') => prop('selected, false)

See http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13474 for a discussion about this issue (I did not refer to ui.multiselect there, but I opened the ticket there because of this problem here).

Thanks for ui.multiselect though !!!

Will do! I had started replacing them but didn't see any errors on my side.

Note that you might also take a look at the next version of this widget, which does support jQuery 1.9

Well it is not so easy to hit the error, it depends on some obscure behavior of some browsers, but they confirmed that we should not use attr() anymore.

And I was not aware of multiselect-2, so thanks for the link!
