jQuery Get Selected Option From Dropdown

Question

Usually I use $(\"#id\").val() to return the value of the selected option, but this time it doesn\'t work. The selected tag has the id aioConceptName

Answer 1

If you want to grab the 'value' attribute instead of the text node, this will work for you:

var conceptName = $('#aioConceptName').find(":selected").attr('value');
