I have the following drop-down menu:
<select name='type' id='type'>
<option id='trade_buy' value='1' selected='selected'>Buy</option>
<option id='trade_buy_max' value='1'>Buy max</option>
<option id='trade_sell' value='2'>Sell</option>
<option id='trade_sell_max' value='2'>Sell max</option>
</select>
I'd like jQuery to detect when the option with the id trade_buy_max
is selected.
I've tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("option#trade_buy_max").select(function () {
//do something
});
});
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
This works...
Listen for the change event on the select box to fire and once it does then just pull the id attribute of the selected option.
$("#type").change(function(){
var id = $(this).find("option:selected").attr("id");
switch (id){
case "trade_buy_max":
// do something here
break;
}
});
What you need to do is add an onchange
handler to the select
:
$('#type').change(function(){
if($(this).val() == 2){
/* Do Something */
}
});
you can bind change
event on its select instead, then check if option selected
$("select#type").change(function () {
if( $("option#trade_buy_max:selected").length )
{
// do something here
}
});
$("option#trade_buy_max").change(function () {
opt = $(this).children("option:selected").attr('id');
if(opt == '#trade_sell_max'){
// do stuff
}
});
Untested, but that should work.
Use the change
event and get the id
attribute of the selected option:
$('#type').change(function () {
var selectedId = $('option:selected', this).attr('id');
if (selectedId == "trade_buy_max") {
// do something
}
});
Change .select to .change and put space before #
