This only works 1 time.  the second time the value is the same as the first time.

 

   $(function()
   {
       

              <!--------1.1------------->
            $('#select_client_dd').change(function()
            {
           

                  var client_info = $(this).val();
<!--- first time I receive  1:a:a:a  ------->  

<!--- second time I receive  2:b:b:b  ------->  

 

     var client_id  = client_info.search(/:/i)  ;

<!--- first time I receive   1  ------->

<!--- second time I receive  1 -------->

   <!----  does not work  > 1x -------->

alert( "client info " + client_info   ) ;

alert( "client id " + client_id ) ;

 

when I reselect another client I get the initial answer (#1).

 

What am I doing wrong??

 

Thanking you in advance you for your time.
