WeBWorK: check select option exists before setting as selected

[Alex-Jordan]

This should fix something mentioned today on -dev.

@davidfarmer Do you know what is the procedure now? Should I merge this? Is it better if I ask you to merge it? And then should I go somewhere on the utmost server and pull?

[rbeezer]

I will likely merge/push in a minute. How you get it to the right address is not so critical (and out of my hands at any time, right now). Thanks.

[rbeezer]

Its in now. Thanks.

[Alex-Jordan]

I need some guidance about how to put this into production use. I think from @davidfarmer.

• This change has been merged into the pretext repo.
• On utmost, there is still the .../js/0.33/ folder which has copy of the git repo for JS_core, now retired.

I think I should make the same edit here, manually inside the 0.33 folder. Does that sound right?

Is that all I need to do? Do new builds of HTML rely on locally bundled JS or something and therefore there is nothing more to do?

[rbeezer]

Builds do not yet use/assume locally available CSS or JS. So you are still responsible for what is being served

That will change but not without clear announcements and instructions. If a backward-incompatible-something needs a version number change we can still coordinate that, but I'm not available for that right now. I don't think this needs that.

I think we will eventually get out of the version number business too.

OK, as in the past, I just manually edited pretext-webwork.js in the 0.33, 0.32, 0.31, and 0.3 folders (to match this edit).

Unlike in the past, I am not thinking about staging and committing that change in the JS_core repo housed by each of those folders.

But in practice I rarely followed up with doing those things anyway in the past, so it's more like the past after all :) For now.

@Tanaquil18, do you want to check that the issue has cleared up? I forget where it was mentioned, but this had to do with a problem that had a dropdown select question.

[Tanaquil18]

Just checked, and it is working now! Thanks!
