[jQuery] Difference with two ways to select elements?


Hi All
I am having a question and seeking some help from the group.
What I want to do? - to set the SELECTS that match the citerias to be
defaul option.
1: $("select[name^='start_me_']").val(0);
2: $("select[name^='start_me_']").each(function() { this.value =
0; });
I found 1 doesn't work in IE but FF. Could someone let me konw why?
And what's the difference between them?
Many thanks
