How to get multiple select box values using jQuery?
Using the .val() function on a multi-select list will return an array of the selected values:
var selectedValues = $('#multipleSelect').val();and in your html:
<select id="multipleSelect" multiple="multiple"> <option value="1">Text 1</option> <option value="2">Text 2</option> <option value="3">Text 3</option></select>
You can also use js map function:
$("#multipleSelect :selected").map(function(i, el) { return $(el).val();}).get();And then you can get any property of the option element:
return $(el).text();return $(el).data("mydata");return $(el).prop("disabled");etc...
