This is a tricky one, you use the contextual selector:
$("option:selected","#edit-taxonomy-1")
This is like saying "find the selected option in the context of element id
edit-taxonomy-1."
Give that a shot.

Subject: [jQuery] Find a element - Basic issue
Hi Folks
My DOM is something like this
<select id="edit-taxonomy-1" class="form-select" name="taxonomy[1]">
<option value="0"><none></option>
<option selected="selected" value="1820">services</option>
<option value="1839">Products</option>
I am trying find the option that have selected="selected" of course is very
random in many inputs.
I tried a lot of things but nothing works.
$($("#edit-taxonomy-1").children().get()).contains("selected")
$($("#edit-taxonomy-1").children().get()).find("selected")
I tried very basic like
$().find("selected") but dont work and many others.
What is missing?
I will appreciate a tip. Help me!
