How to get data-value of selected option on select change in jquery

Question

My html syntax is as below

<select id="category" name="category">
  <option value="0">Please Select</option>
  <option value="50" data-value="akne">ACNE</option>
  <option value="11" data-value="rednessbumps">Redness / Bumps</option>
  <option value="15" data-value="sunspotsfreckles">Sunspots / Freckles</option>
  <option value="16" data-value="agingwrinkles">Aging / Wrinkles</option>
  <option value="17" data-value="dry-sensitive">Dry Sensitive</option>
</select>

$("#category").change(function () {
  var selectedItem = $(this).val();
  var abc=$(this).attr("data-value");
});

Here I am not able to get the data-value in jquery, How should I get that?

Answer 1

Use

var abc = $('option:selected',this).data("value");

Try

$("#category").change(function() {
  var selectedItem = $(this).val();
  var abc = $('option:selected',this).data("value");
  alert(abc);
});
