Hi,

First off, awesome plugin. It is the best I have seen for this job.

I just discovered that when using firefox 10. When you get to the select box by using the tabs, and use the arrow keys to set the value. The value on the select box, that is passed to the form action, is not always the correct value.

Steps to recreate the issue:

1. Open the demo page in Firefox 10:

2. Use the tabs to get to the state field, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to change the value.
3. Tab away from that field.
4. Run this in firebug console: alert($("select[name='example4']").val())

This will show the value of the select box. It is not always align with what the select box. I am looking through the code to find a possible non-hacky solution, I will post an update when if I discover anything. I thought I should point this out to you though.

It appears this is only an issue in the new Firefox releases.
