How do you get the currently selected <option> of a <select> element via JavaScript?
680
var yourSelect = document. getElementById("your-select-id"); alert(yourSelect. selectedOptions[0]. value);
To get the value of a select or dropdown in HTML using pure JavaScript, first we get the select tag, in this case by id, and then we get the selected value through the selectedIndex property. The value "en" will be printed on the console (Ctrl + Shift + J to open the console).
This will do it for you:
var yourSelect = document.getElementById( "your-select-id" ); alert( yourSelect.options[ yourSelect.selectedIndex ].value ) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
