I have a select control

<select>
<option value = "1"> abcd </option>
<option value = "1"> my Name </option>
<option value = "1"> your Name </option>
</select>

I am comparing the values of the text property of the select control....my
comparisions fails...how to handle that   while comparing....

e.g.

var testString = "my Name"

how can I compare this with the option value for exact match....

any tips

Replace all the NBSP's with regular spaces before comparing, eg with

var replaced = original.replace(/ /, " ");

Note that in the above line the character between the slashes is the NBSP
char (Alt+0160 to type in) and the quoted char is a space.

Perhaps /\xa0/g would be more clear (and replace all non-breaking spaces).
