Materialize Multiple Select

Question

I have a Materialize Multiple Select element. But I can't seem to find a way to retrieve the selected values. Does anybody know how you can retrieve the selected values?

Here's the look when you select it:

Heres how it looks when you close it:

But the question is how to retrieve the values inside the selector when closed.

EDIT: I am using Materialize CSS (http://materializecss.com)

Answer 1

You can get it with basic jQuery; there's nothing special about the Material markup.

For a select like this:

<select id="mySelect" multiple>
    <option value="1" selected>Option 1</option>
    <option value="2" selected>Option 2</option>
    <option value="2">Option 2</option>
</select>

$('#mySelect').val() will return an array of selected values: ["1", "2"]
