How to get multiple select box values using jQuery?

Answer 1

Using the .val() function on a multi-select list will return an array of the selected values:

var selectedValues = $('#multipleSelect').val();

and in your html:

<select id="multipleSelect" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">Text 1</option>
    <option value="2">Text 2</option>
    <option value="3">Text 3</option>
</select>
