jQuery get value of select onChange

Try this-

$('select').on('change', function() { alert( this.value ); });

You can also reference with onchange event-

function getval(sel) { alert(sel.value); }

I know this is quite late but if you are using the keyboard (tabbing) to navigate a form and use the up/down arrows to choose from a dropdown list then FireFox (22.0) does not trigger the change event. You need to additionally bind keypress for FireFox. Additional Info: jQuery 1.10.2 using the syntax $('select').on('change', function(){ /* do seomthing */ });

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

I was under the impression that I could get the value of a select input by doing this $(this).val();

This works if you subscribe unobtrusively (which is the recommended approach):

$('#id_of_field').change(function() {
    // $(this).val() will work here
});

if you use onselect and mix markup with script you need to pass a reference to the current element:

onselect="foo(this);"

and then:

function foo(element) {
    // $(element).val() will give you what you are looking for
}

This is helped for me.

For select:

$('select_tags').on('change', function() {
    alert( $(this).find(":selected").val() );
});

For radio/checkbox:

$('radio_tags').on('change', function() {
    alert( $(this).find(":checked").val() );
});

Try the event delegation method, this works in almost all cases.

$(document.body).on('change',"#selectID",function (e) {
   //doStuff
   var optVal= $("#selectID option:selected").val();
});

Rakesh Maurya

$('#select_id').on('change', function()
{
    alert(this.value); //or alert($(this).val());
});



<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<select id="select_id">
    <option value="1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="2">Option 2</option>
    <option value="3">Option 3</option>
    <option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>

Arrow function has a different scope than function, this.value will give undefined for an arrow function. To fix use

$('select').on('change',(event) => {
     alert( event.target.value );
 });

You can try this (using jQuery)-

$('select').on('change', function() { alert( this.value ); });

Or you can use simple Javascript like this-

function getNewVal(item) { alert(item.value); }

H

Hai Nguyen

$('#select-id').change(function() {
    console.log($(this).val());
});

if somebody also need to get the text of the option, here is it $(this).find('option:selected').text();

T

For all selects, invoke this function.

$('select').on('change', function()
{
    alert( this.value );
});

For only one select:

$('#select_id')

This is what worked for me. Tried everything else with no luck:

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Example: Change event on a select</title>

    <script type="text/javascript">

      function changeEventHandler(event) {
        alert('You like ' + event.target.value + ' ice cream.');
      }

    </script>

  </head>

  <body>
    <label>Choose an ice cream flavor: </label>
    <select size="1" onchange="changeEventHandler(event);">
      <option>chocolate</option>
      <option>strawberry</option>
      <option>vanilla</option>
    </select>
  </body>

</html>

Look for jQuery site

HTML:

<form>
  <input class="target" type="text" value="Field 1">
  <select class="target">
    <option value="option1" selected="selected">Option 1</option>
    <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
  </select>
</form>
<div id="other">
  Trigger the handler
</div>

JAVASCRIPT:

$( ".target" ).change(function() {
  alert( "Handler for .change() called." );
});

jQuery's example:

To add a validity test to all text input elements:

$( "input[type='text']" ).change(function() {
  // Check input( $( this ).val() ) for validity here
});

Virendra Yaduvanshi

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

    jQuery("#id").change(function() {
      var value = jQuery(this).children(":selected").attr("value");
     alert(value);

    });
})

Let me share an example which I developed with BS4, thymeleaf and Spring boot.

I am using two SELECTs, where the second ("subtopic") gets filled by an AJAX call based on the selection of the first("topic").

First, the thymeleaf snippet:

 <div class="form-group">
     <label th:for="topicId" th:text="#{label.topic}">Topic</label>
     <select class="custom-select"
             th:id="topicId" th:name="topicId"
             th:field="*{topicId}"
             th:errorclass="is-invalid" required>
         <option value="" selected
                 th:text="#{option.select}">Select
         </option>
         <optgroup th:each="topicGroup : ${topicGroups}"
                   th:label="${topicGroup}">
             <option th:each="topicItem : ${topics}"
                     th:if="${topicGroup == topicItem.grp} "
                     th:value="${{topicItem.baseIdentity.id}}"
                     th:text="${topicItem.name}"
                     th:selected="${{topicItem.baseIdentity.id==topicId}}">
             </option>
         </optgroup>
         <option th:each="topicIter : ${topics}"
                 th:if="${topicIter.grp == ''} "
                 th:value="${{topicIter.baseIdentity.id}}"
                 th:text="${topicIter.name}"
                 th:selected="${{topicIter.baseIdentity?.id==topicId}}">
         </option>
     </select>
     <small id="topicHelp" class="form-text text-muted"
            th:text="#{label.topic.tt}">select</small>
</div><!-- .form-group -->

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="subtopicsId" th:text="#{label.subtopicsId}">subtopics</label>
    <select class="custom-select"
            id="subtopicsId" name="subtopicsId"
            th:field="*{subtopicsId}"
            th:errorclass="is-invalid" multiple="multiple">
        <option value="" disabled
                th:text="#{option.multiple.optional}">Select
        </option>
        <option th:each="subtopicsIter : ${subtopicsList}"
                th:value="${{subtopicsIter.baseIdentity.id}}"
                th:text="${subtopicsIter.name}">
        </option>
    </select>
    <small id="subtopicsHelp" class="form-text text-muted"
           th:unless="${#fields.hasErrors('subtopicsId')}"
           th:text="#{label.subtopics.tt}">select</small>
    <small id="subtopicsIdError" class="invalid-feedback"
           th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('subtopicsId')}"
           th:errors="*{subtopicsId}">Errors</small>
</div><!-- .form-group -->

I am iterating over a list of topics that is stored in the model context, showing all groups with their topics, and after that all topics that do not have a group. BaseIdentity is an @Embedded composite key BTW.

Now, here's the jQuery that handles changes:

$('#topicId').change(function () {
    selectedOption = $(this).val();
    if (selectedOption === "") {
        $('#subtopicsId').prop('disabled', 'disabled').val('');
        $("#subtopicsId option").slice(1).remove(); // keep first
    } else {
        $('#subtopicsId').prop('disabled', false)
        var orig = $(location).attr('origin');
        var url = orig + "/getsubtopics/" + selectedOption;
        $.ajax({
            url: url,
           success: function (response) {
                  var len = response.length;
                    $("#subtopicsId option[value!='']").remove(); // keep first 
                    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
                        var id = response[i]['baseIdentity']['id'];
                        var name = response[i]['name'];
                        $("#subtopicsId").append("<option value='" + id + "'>" + name + "</option>");
                    }
                },
                error: function (e) {
                    console.log("ERROR : ", e);
                }
        });
    }
}).change(); // and call it once defined

The initial call of change() makes sure it will be executed on page re-load or if a value has been preselected by some initialization in the backend.

BTW: I am using "manual" form validation (see "is-valid"/"is-invalid"), because I (and users) didn't like that BS4 marks non-required empty fields as green. But that's byond scope of this Q and if you are interested then I can post it also.

Note that if these are not working, it might be because the DOM has not loaded and your element was not found yet.

To fix, put the script at the end of body or use document ready

$.ready(function() {
    $("select").on('change', function(ret) {  
         console.log(ret.target.value)
    }
})

only with JS

 let select=document.querySelectorAll('select') 
  select.forEach(function(el) {
    el.onchange =  function(){
     alert(this.value);
      
  }}
  )
