Menu
I have a normal dropdown which I want to get the currently selected index and put that in a variable. Jquery or javascript. Jquery perfered.
<select name="CCards"> <option value="0">Select Saved Payment Method:</option> <option value="1846">test xxxx1234</option> <option value="1962">test2 xxxx3456</option> </select> 
718
The select tag in HTML is used to create a dropdown list of options that can be selected. The option tag contains the value that would be used when selected. The default value of the select element can be set by using the 'selected' attribute on the required option.
selectedIndex is a JavaScript Select Property. For jQuery you can use this code: jQuery(document). ready(function($) { $("#dropDownMenuKategorie"). change(function() { // I personally prefer using console.log(), but if you want you can still go with the alert().
$("select[name='CCards'] option:selected") should do the trick
See jQuery documentation for more detail: http://api.jquery.com/selected-selector/
UPDATE: if you need the index of the selected option, you need to use the .index() jquery method:
$("select[name='CCards'] option:selected").index() If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
