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

Try the change event and selected selector

$('#jobSel').change(function(){
    var optId = $(this).find('option:selected').attr('id')
})
