Please, how can I get the selected key and value of a HTML select combo box using jQuery?
$(this).find("select").each(function () {
if ($.trim($(this).val()) != '') {
searchString += $.trim($(this).val()) + " "; //This gives me the key. How can I get the value also?
}
});
Thanks
I assume by "key" and "value" you mean:
<select>
<option value="KEY">VALUE</option>
</select>
If that's the case, this will get you the "VALUE":
$(this).find('option:selected').text();
And you can get the "KEY" like this:
$(this).find('option:selected').val();
