Hi All, here is a slight improvement and fix. Turns out you also need
to check to make sure that the list id you're comparing to is not
itself, and that the value is not blank:
//check to make sure the slot is not already full
var selectedValue;
$('.ddl_slots').change(function() {
var ddl_current = $(this);
selectedValue = $(this).val();
$('.ddl_slots').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == selectedValue && $(this).val() !=
"" && $
(this).attr('id') != ddl_current.attr('id'))
{
$(ddl_current).val("");
alert("This slot is already selected for
another player");
}
});
});
