How can I say if the dropdown list has been selected then add the value or text to a textarea?

Hi,

How can I say if the dropdown list has been selected then append the value or the text to the textarea box.

I'm using bootstrap dropdown list.

  $("#AppendConditionBtn").click(function () {

            var RangeBoxFrom = $("#RangeBoxFrom").val().length;
            var RangeBoxTo = $("#RangeBoxTo").val().length;
            var GetOperatorSelectValue = $("#OperatorSelect option:selected").val();
            var GetConditionSelectValue = $("#ConditionSelect option:selected").text();
            var GetValueSelectValue = $("#ValueSelect option:selected").val();
            var GetGroupSelectValue = $("#GroupSelect option:selected").text();
            var GetItemsTextAreaValue = $("#ItemsTextArea").val();
            var GetOperatorSelectForRangeValue = $("#OperatorSelectForRange option:selected").val();
            var GetConditionSelectForRangeValue = $("#ConditionSelectForRange option:selected").val();
            var GetValueSelectForRangeValue = $("#ValueSelectForRange option:selected").val();
            var GetRangeBoxFromValue = $("#RangeBoxFrom").val();
            var GetRangeBoxToValue = $("#RangeBoxTo").val();

             if (RangeBoxFrom > 6 || RangeBoxTo > 6) {
                 alert("Range should be less than 6 character");
                 return false;
             }

// Here how can I say if the multiselectbox list has been selected then append the value or text to the "ContidionsAndAttributesTextArea"
otherwise don't append. 

             $("#ContidionsAndAttributesTextArea").val(GetOperatorSelectValue + " " + GetConditionSelectValue
                 + " " + GetValueSelectValue + " " + GetGroupSelectValue + " (" + GetItemsTextAreaValue + ") "
             + GetOperatorSelectForRangeValue + " " + GetConditionSelectForRangeValue + " " + GetValueSelectForRangeValue
             + " (" + GetRangeBoxFromValue + " - " + GetRangeBoxToValue + ") ");

 
              return true;

        });

Hi there,

To clarify, are you saying that you want to capture the value of an item in a dropdown list? Or, are you trying to say that if the dropdown list itself has focus?

Hi,

I want to say this:

if (GetOperatorSelectValue != "")
{
//append "GetOperatorSelectValue" value to the $("#ContidionsAndAttributesTextArea").val()
}
if(GetConditionSelectValue != "")
{
//append "GetConditionSelectValue " value to the $("#ContidionsAndAttributesTextArea").val()
}

etc...

I just want to add the values to the textarea if the user selected them
