//Events when changing
$("#testSelect").change(function(){ //Event occurred
jQuery('option:selected', this).each(function(){ //Print out multiple selected values
alert(this.value);
});
});
//Print the selected item
Method 1: $("select#Clubs").children("[@selected]" ).each(function(){
alert(this.text);
});
Method 2: $("#selBags").val(); //This is faster, but Single selection only
//Get the selection value of the drop-down menu
$(#testSelect option:selected').text();
or $("#testSelect").find('option:selected ' ).text();
//Remove removeOption(index/value/regex[, selectedOnly])
$('select#Clubs option:selected').remove();
//Make an option selected
var select = $(tdsEdit[0]).find("select"); //Get select
$(select).children().each(function(){
if ( $(this).text()=="option you want")
//jQuery method
$(this).attr("selected","true"); //Or selected
//javascript method
this.selected = true;
});
