I need to run a jquery function if a certain dropdown option is selected.
Try this one, Demo on JsFiddle
$('select[name="dropdown"]').change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("select[name='dropdown']").change(function() {
if($(this).val()==2){
//do what u want here
}//u can check your desired value here
});
});
I think you want this.
Try this demo http://jsfiddle.net/JGp9e/
This will help, have a nice one!
code
$('select[name="dropdown"]').change(function(){
if ($(this).val() == "2"){
alert("call the do something function on option 2");
}
});
HTML
<select name="dropdown" size=1>
<option value="1">option 1</option>
<option value="2">option 2</option>
</select>
use
$("#idofselectbox").change(function(){
// your code here
});
hope this helps....
$(document).ready(function() {
$("select[name='dropdown']").change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
});
});
You need to use change
function
$('select[name=dropdown]').change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
});
