Thanks! but the values of this drop down box are dynamic and are coming from a DB. So I was wondering if jquery offers a method so that rather than doing '.val()' i could do something else so that I would get search on content of the option box rather than value. so for example
<option value="my_val">cat</option> So here i would like to see if the option contains 'cat' or starts with 'c' or something like that... Also, i know that jquery supports chained method but how does it work with logical operators like && or || so in the example you have mentioned..what if i wanted to do a check for 'my value2' as well... I appreciate your help!
