Add val of select within jQuery code?

Hi all.

I am trying to figure out how I can have the value of a field placed into some code on change of a select.

I have the following code:

$(function() {
    var availableTags = [
        {exp:channel:entries channel="tours" dynamic="no" status="active" entry_id="305"}{embed="includes/faq" entry_ids="{tour_faqs:child_ids}"}{/exp:channel:entries}];

    $( "#test" ).autocomplete({
        source: availableTags
    });
});

In the variable I have some expression engine code to bring in the titles of entries for the autocomplete field.

What I am trying to figure out how I can achieve is to have the 305 of the entry_id="305" replaced with the value of a select on change.

Is this possible? if so I would be grateful if someone could show me how.

Thank you

I am getting closer, but just dont know how to get the val where I need it rather than in the html like I have it now.

<form action="/test_faq" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test" id="test" value="" class="contact" />
<select name="entry_id" id="entry_id" class="contact">
{exp:channel:entries channel="tours" dynamic="no" status="active"}
<option value="{entry_id}">{title}</option>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</select>
<input type="text" id="targetTextField" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    var availableTags = [
        {exp:channel:entries channel="tours" dynamic="no" status="active" entry_id="DISPLAY HERE"}{embed="includes/faq" entry_ids="{tour_faqs:child_ids}"}{/exp:channel:entries}];

    $(function() {
        $("#entry_id").change(function(){
        setTarget()
        });
    });

function setTarget(){
    var loc = $("#entry_id").val();
    $('#targetTextField').val(loc);
    }

    $( "#test" ).autocomplete({
        source: availableTags
    });
});
</script>

How can I get the val where I have written 'DISPLAY HERE'.

Thank you!

Since you have not provided the markup that needs to be worked with it is hard to tell exactly what you are asking for.

Hi Jay.

Thank you for getting back to me. I actually solved the issue myself... three days of banging my head against the keyboard eventually paid off.

Thanks
