This isn't working for me. I have a select box that looks like this before
a selection is made:
<select name="filter" id="filter" class="selectbox" size="1">
<option value="0" selected="selected">--</option>
<option value="2">A:Option 2</option>
<option value="1">B:Option 1</option>
</select>
Here is my code to get the text inside the selected option (after change):
Assuming I selected the third in the list (val=1)
var id = $("#filter").val(); //correctly returns 1 as the value
if (id != 0 ) {
var str = $('#filter [EMAIL PROTECTED]').text(); //incorrectly returns
"--" as the text
}
option:eq(1)
This returns the second option - using index 1 not value 1 - which is what I
am after.
