Can you manually initialize a SELECT box?

[TronixGT]

Since I'm having issues with textarea's in older IE versions running in compatibility mode, I'm initializing the text boxes and check boxes individually, however I can't seem to figure out how to initialize a select box.

I'm calling autotab with:
$('input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=checkbox]').autotab();

I've tried to add:
$.autotab({ tabOnSelect: true });

but then that initializes textareas again and breaks them. Is there a way to add select boxes without initializing the textareas?

Thanks,

You can include a select list by adding select in your selector. You could also do $(':input').not('textarea'). Calling $.autotab() is the same as using the :input selector.
