Need function from old jquery-1.2.6.pack.js

[[email protected]]

My custom template uses the following line of code which I have tracked down was supported by jquery-1.2.6.pack.js and not included in the new jquery-1.4.4.min.js

 

The code that stopped working, upgrading Prestashop is

$("#group_2").val(id_attribute);

 

in this case, specifically the use of the val()

 

If I put jquery-1.2.6.pack.js in the new header.tpl then it works, but other things that need the new JQuery break as a result.

 

This has been an emergency issue for us for months, since trying to upgrade from Prestashop 1.3.6

 

Thanks for any advice here on how to make that work.

jQuery 1.4.4 still has that function. Maybe it is another issue causing the problem.
