Javascript to hide selected option

Question

I have this code to hide selected options:

function connect()
{
    $(\".selectbox option\").show();
    $(\".selectbox\").each(function(i) { 
        var obj =          


        

Answer 1

As it's been said, you're trying to find an option within an option, so you'll have to get rid of the .find call.

Apart from that, hiding elements do not work cross-browser, so you'll have to remove the options instead, and add them back when necessary. There are several ways to manage that, all involving storing the full list of options in a variable (as an array, an object, or even HTML string).
