Hi,<br />
I like the solution and the jsfiddle makes it simple to test.<br />
<br />
I have a challenge<br />
The fields are being created dynamically.<br />
As such the routine doesn't execute when the value changes ?<br />
<br />
thanks

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a number of &quot;select&quot; fields that are created dynamically.<br />
The fields will have the same name, although the id can be different<br />
<br />
&lt;select name=employee[] id=employee_1&gt;<br />
&lt;select name=employee[] id=employee_2&gt;<br />
<br />
I want to use jquery to get a handle on the value each time it changes.<br />
<br />
If I know the id of the object I can call a routine to get the value<br />
<br />
function getvalue(){<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;$(&quot;#employee_1&quot;).val();<br />
}<br />
<br />
But I don't know how many of these dynamic fields may be created at any time.<br />
is there a way to pass the object id to the jquery script<br />
<br />
for example.....<br />
function getvalue(this){<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $(this.id).val();<br />
}<br />
<br />
thanks

jquery get selected value where div id is unknown

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
