//check to make sure the slot is not already full
var selectedValue;
var revert = false;
$('.ddl_slots').change(function() {
selectedValue = $(this).val();
$('.ddl_slots').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == selectedValue)
{
revert = true;
}
});
if (revert)
{
$(this).val("");
alert("This slot is already selected for another
player");
}
});
