Re: Problems with trying to get the “text” of a drop down option

[pghtech]

Ok, so I made the following change and the variable "choice" now returns a value when the drop down selection changes. But the value of variable "choice" still doesn’t meet one of the two conditions ("Me" and "Someone Else"). The other oddity is that when I put in a "alert (choice)" to return the value it got it puts "Me" or "Someone Else" to the far right of the alert window.

My changes

Code:

jQuery(“.choice”).change(function() {
var choice = jQuery(“.choice option:selected”).text();
alert (choice);
