Jquery to get the id of selected value from dropdown

Question

I have a drop down list that fetches values from db as follows

$.get(\'/getJobs\', function (jobs) {
        seljobs = jobs;
        var i = 0;
        jobs.forE         


        

Answer 1

If you are trying to get the id, then please update your code like

  html += '' + n.names + '';

To retrieve id,

$('option:selected').attr("id")

To retrieve Value

$('option:selected').val()

in Javascript

var e = document.getElementById("jobSel");
var job = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
