<option value="PRODUCT_TYPE">1.3</option>
I want to get 1.3 using below code but i m not getting it....
var OperatingSystem = document.getElementById("<%=ddlOS.ClientID %>");
var size = OperatingSystem.options.length;
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++) {
if (OperatingSystem.options[i].text === obj.OperatingSystem) {
$("#ddlos").val(i);
$("#ddlOS").multiselect("refresh"); break;
}
}
I solved this by using the following:
var OperatingSystem = document.getElementById("<%=ddlOS.ClientID %>");
var size = OperatingSystem.options.length;
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if (OperatingSystem.options[i].text === obj.OperatingSystem)
{
operatingsystem.selectedindex=i;
$("#ddlOS option:selected).text();
$("#ddlOS").multiselect("refresh");
break;
}
}
You need to look at the value returned from html() (or javascript innerHTML property) ion order to determine the visible selection content for the option. val() returns the tag's value property which in your example would be PRODUCT_TYPE.
As mike said, you can use innerHTML or Text.
You can get it with jquery like so:
function DoSomething()
{
var foo = $("select").find(":selected").text();
alert(foo);
}
You have several issues here. I would refactor to something like this:
var $ddl = $('<%=ddlOS.ClientID %>');
$ddl.val($ddl.find('option').filter(function () {
return $(this).text() == obj.OperatingSystem;
}).val());
Here's a demo of the javascript: http://jsfiddle.net/uQfEA/
