Well, .val() on the select element returns the current value, so you
can simplify that:
$('select#myselect').change(function(){
var itemText = $(this).find('option:selected').text();
var itemValue = $(this).val();
$( '#answer' ).text( itemText + ' is number ' + itemValue );
});
or go even
Can I just thank you guys!! I've wasted hours trying to fiddle around
with selectedIndex and stuff; the best I achieved was to get the html
object returned :(
It wasn't clear from the docs. Confusingly, I did get the option text
with $( 'select#myselect option:selected' ).text(). But I couldn't
One thing I see wrong there:
You are referencing dllViewSelector as an id in your jQuery, but you
only have that as a name in your html. either add the id attribute to

Thanks, but that does not seem to make any difference. Also, the name
must be enough because I've got HTML such as input type=hidden
name=txtProjectHomeLink_0 size=30 value=a dummy value
class=ProjectHomeLink_0 / with JQuery x=$
(input.ProjectHomeLink_0).val(); and it gets the value successfully.
The val() method returns the selected option for the element:
$('[name=dllViewSelector]').val()
'selectedIndex' is a property of the select node. When you call $
('#dllViewSelector') (ignoring the fact that this selector is wrong)
you get a jQuery object with a reference to the element, not the
Apologies to Rob (I had only tried his 'add the id attribute to
the select tag' suggestion), I now find that if I write p_viewSelector=
$(select[name='dllViewSelector'] option:selected).text(); it works
fine. Thanks Rob (and also Ricardo).
