title: prop("selected",true) not working in Safari
body: <p>Does anybody know why in Safari this is not working?  </p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#my_dropdown')
                   .find('option')
                   .filter(function(index) { 
                      return $(this).text() === $('#country_of_residence').html();        
                   }).prop("selected", true);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where as in Chrome and Firefox it does. 
  The option does get selected (as there is an atrribute selected="selected" visible), but the dropdown is not updated. 
  I am using Safari 7.0.4.</p>
