Can anyone help on this one? ......... The following statement is proven to work:
p_viewSelector=$("select[name='dllViewSelector_Search_0'] option:selected").text(); But now I need to adapt it so the Search_0 component is replaced by a variable (because it isn't always going to be Search_0 at that point. So I've got curSelector="ddlViewSelector"+idCurrent; p_viewSelector=$("select[name='"+curSelector+"'] option:selected").text();// single quote just before the 1st + and just after the 2nd + //idCurrent might be Search_0, but could be Search_<any integer> (and also tried lots of other combinations e.g. curSelector="'ddlViewSelector'"+idCurrent;// dbl quote sing quote ....sing quote dble quote p_viewSelector=$("select[name="+curSelector+"] option:selected").text(); ) So, if anyone is expert with jquery variables, quotes, string contenation etc. who can solve this one, it would be greatly appreciated!
