jQuery - how can I get a value of the next option in a dropdown after the selected one?

Question

I have a drop down with a selected option at index = 0. How can I in jquery get the value of the next option at index = 1? Of course I need to do that without specifying the value of the next option because I can;t assume what it will be at this point.

thx

Answer 1

You can write

$('#dropDownId option:selected').next().val()

Or

$('#dropDownId option:selected+option').val()

Answer 2

 $('#selectid option:selected').next().val()
