Parsing 'selectedValue' out of RadDropDownList using jQuery

The title says what I'm trying to do.

I've got a control ('#dropdown') that has this as is its value:

value="{"enabled":true,"logEntries":[],"selectedIndex":8,"selectedText":"Option2","selectedValue":"250"}"

I'm trying to pull "250" from the "selectedValue" field.

Unfortunately, doing $('#dropdown').val gives me the above string as its value.

Is there a way to pull just the "selectedValue", or is this something I will have to parse through?

Hoping to find out here before I go about doing a parse method.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • After viewing this Telerik forum, it turns out that "selectedValue" cannot be extracted a single value. The solution, instead, was to use a regular ASP dropdownlist to produce the value I need.
