Question

i got following line

$('#formSelect option[value="'+ json.name + '"]').remove();

This deletes an option inside a form. Which option depends on json.name.

So do you know an alternative way to do this?
Maybe something in the form like this:

var rmOption = ???
$('#formSelect rmOption').remove();

Answer 1

Do you mean var rmOption = ‘option[value="’+ json.name + ‘"]’; $(‘#formSelect ‘ + rmOption).remove();

@Vega Yes, i meant something like this, thanks, maybe know a nice way to integrate json.name…

You can try setting the options var and append it inside the selector like below,

var rmOption = 'option[value="'+ json.name + '"]';
$('#formSelect ' + rmOption).remove();

Or you can do the iterate that jQuery would be doing internally,

$('#formSelect option').filter(function () {
    return (this.value == json.name)
}).remove();
