[PATCH] prototype: <select> serialization and empty attributes

Reported by: gracinet Assigned to: sam
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Prototype Version:
Severity: normal Keywords: form select serialization
Cc:

Description

The following html fragment: 

<option value="" selected="selected">All</option>

gets serialized as with "All" as value. This is because the empty string evaluates as boolean false in statements. The reference I read (HTML 4 RFC) specifies that a *missing* attribute should be replaced by element's text.

The attached patch solves the problem for me. No test included, sorry, I don't have time enough to struggle with the fixture.
