As per the jQuery API, val() handles select elements with the multiple attribute by setting and getting arrays of strings, toggling the selection of multiple options. For non-select elements, val() concatenates array items.
Additionally, setting the value for non-multiple select elements now only activates the first matching option, whereas previously all options with the duplicate value would be selected.
