Get value of multiselect box using jQuery or pure JS

Question

In the code shown below, how to get the values of multiselect box in function val() using jQuery or pure JavaScript?

Answer 1

I think the answer may be easier to understand like this:

$('#empid').on('change',function() {
  alert($(this).val());
  console.log($(this).val());
});

  Potato
  Carrot
  Apple
  Raisins
  Peanut



Hold CTRL / CMD for selecting multiple fields

If you select "Carrot" and "Raisins" in the list, the output will be "1,3".
