Get value of selected <option> in ddSlick dropdown
Solution 1
According to the docs for your plugin, the onSelected
method gets the selectedData
parameter:
selectedData (nested object with text, value, description, imageSrc)
The text label and value are available as selectedData.text
and selectedData.value
inside the onSelected
function. Try this:
$('#dropdown').ddslick({
showSelectedHTML: false,
onSelected: function(selectedData){
var str = selectedData.value
alert(str);
}
});
Solution 2
Use $(this).val()
in place of $(this).attr('id')
The value of the currently selected <option>
is returned when you call .val()
on the <select>
element.
Solution 3
$('#dropdown').ddslick({
showSelectedHTML: false,
onSelected: function(selectedData){
var str = $(this).val()
alert(str);
}
});
So, use val()
instead of attr('id')
Solution 4
I got it!! if you want to get the attribute value you set in your array where your data is coming from you get your value like this->
$('#id').ddslick({
data:dropdowndata,
width:60,
selectText: "Select Circle",
imagePosition:"left",
//dropdowndata[4].selected:true
onSelected: function(selectedData){
val = selectedData.selectedIndex;
alert(dropdowndata[val].value);

This currently returns undefined. What should go in the commented line to alert the value (1, 2, 3 or 4) of the current
<option>
tag?<select id="dropdown" name="dropdown"> <option value="0" data-imagesrc="images/icons/all.png">All Questions</option> <option value="1" id="friends" data-imagesrc="images/icons/friends.png">Friends</option> <option value="2" data-imagesrc="images/icons/friends_of_friends.png">Friends of Friends</option> <option value="3" data-imagesrc="images/icons/network.png"><?php echo $network; ?></option> <option value="4" data-imagesrc="images/icons/location.png"><?php echo $location ?></option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#dropdown').ddslick({ showSelectedHTML: false, onSelected: function(selectedData){ var str = $(this).attr('id'); // WHAT SHOULD GO HERE? alert(str); } }); </script>
EDIT
If it's relevant, I'm using this plugin.
Perhaps this question might help. I'm trying to make sense of it.
Managed to figure this out. Final working code is:
<select id="dropdown" name="dropdown" value="hello"> <option value="0" data-imagesrc="images/icons/all.png">All Questions</option> <option value="1" id="friends" data-imagesrc="images/icons/friends.png">Friends</option> <option value="2" data-imagesrc="images/icons/friends_of_friends.png">Friends of Friends</option> <option value="3" data-imagesrc="images/icons/network.png"><?php echo $network; ?></option> <option value="4" data-imagesrc="images/icons/location.png"><?php echo $location ?></option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#dropdown').ddslick({ showSelectedHTML: false, onSelected: function(data){ alert(data.selectedData.value); } }); </script>
