Click a select option

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

Hello,

i want evaluate the click on a select option.

This works for an general select option

$('a.ui-link-inherit').click(function(){

lastOption = $(this);

var lastText = lastOption.text();

console.log($(this).child());

alert(lastText);

});

But if iwant a special select option like:

<select name="filter" id="filter" multiple="multiple" data-native-menu="false">´

<option>Wähle Filter aus...</option>

</select>

</div>

It doesnt works.

Help me pls.

Thanks :)

Setting a click handler on a select element can be problematic because even just clicking the arrow to expand the selections will trigger the event, as will clicking on any of the options. And trying to attach a click handler to a option element doesn't work in all browsers.

Can you use the change handler instead, you can apply that to the select element and it will fire every time a new option is selected.
