jquerymulti-select

Quick way to clear all selections on a multiselect enabled <select> with jQuery?

Do I have to iterate through ALL the and set remove the 'selected' attribute or is there a better way?

Solution

  • Simply find all the selected <option> tags within your <select> and remove the selected attribute:

    $("#my_select option:selected").removeAttr("selected");

    As of jQuery 1.6, you should use .prop instead of removing the attribute:

    $("#my_select option:selected").prop("selected", false);
