This question have many answers out there but none of those answers solved my problem. I have a modal with some tags. I am trying to save the value
I'm not sure the id=1
is fine, but you can use this code to simulate a click on the close button (or you can add an id or a class to it).
You may have to remove the onclick="save()"
data = {};
$("#save").on("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // prevent de default action, which is to submit
// save your value where you want
data.select = $("#exampleSelect").value();
// or call the save function here
// save();
$(this).prev().click();
});
