[jQuery] Getting a specific option in a select

[jQuery] Getting a specific option in a select


Hi, I'm trying to get the option with a specific value in it.
This is the syntax I use and doesn't works:
alert($('option:[value*=\'2\']', $('#category_1')).size());
It alerts 0, if I try without the value I get the correct size of the
options in the select.
Where's the error?
Thank you
