When I do this: var usage_sel = $('select[name="item_options[usage]"]').data('damage');   I have it to alert on change and I get undefined.  Do I need to add more to it to get the DATA value from the selected option?

<div>
I had to do the following: var usage_sel = $('select[name=&quot;item_optio<wbr />ns[usage]&quot;<wbr />]').find('<wbr />:selected'<wbr />).data('da<wbr />mage');
</div>


I had to do the following: var usage_sel = $('select[name="item_options[usage]"]').find(':selected').data('damage');

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to grab the Dta Value from a specific select option:<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28617177-1">&lt;script&gt;
 				var usage_sel = $('select[name=&quot;item_options[usage]&quot;]').attr('data-damage');
 				var usage_var = usage_sel.data('damage'); 		
 			
 				if ( usage_var == null  ) {
 					usage = 1;
 				} else if ( usage_var == undefined ) {
 					usage = 1;
 				} else {
 					usage = usage_var;
 				}	
 				alert(usage);	
&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre>
The select name is item_options[usage]<br />
the data is data-damage<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong?
