i have a table with this select:
<tr class="tr_clone">
<td>
<select style="width:200px" name="itens[]" class="itemname">
<option value="0"></option>
<option value="1">Item A</option>
<option value="2">Item B</option>
<option value="3">Item C</option>
</td>
in jquery, I am trying to get the text of the selected item (Item A when 1 is selected). I am then putting this value to another text box, (named 'note'). I can put the index value but not the text of the select.
$("table").on('change', '.itemname', function() {
var prtCont = $(this).parent().parent();
var code = prtCont.find('.itemname').val();
prtCont.find('.note').val(code);
});
what should I change in my jquery?
Well, 1st close the select tag.
<tr class="tr_clone">
<td>
<select style="width:200px" name="itens[]" class="itemname">
<option value="0"></option>
<option value="1">Item A</option>
<option value="2">Item B</option>
<option value="3">Item C</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
To get the text of the selected item you can do:
$('.itemname option:selected').html()
Your jQuery is a little confuse, for me is better:
$('.itemname').on('change' , function() {
var prtCont = $(this).parent().parent();
code = $(this).val(); // Get the value
text = $('.itemname option:selected').html(); // Get the text
prtCont.find('.note').val(code + ' ' +text);
});
