All my options disappear except the home option when I added the if statement. Help!

$("#menu ul li a").each(function() { var $anchorText = $(this).text(); var $option = $("<option></option>");

$option.text($anchorText);
$select.append($option);

var $optionValue = $(this).attr("href");
$option.val($optionValue);

if (this.parent().hasClass("selected"))
{
    $option.prop("selected", true);
}

});

Where you have this:

  if (this.parent().hasClass("selected")) {

Perhaps that should be:

  if ($(this).parent().hasClass("selected")) {
