Question

I have a column in a grid that contains dropdown list.
The row also has a link which takes me to an action method.
I need the selected value of the dropdown list in that row and pass it to the method.

I have used jquery in the past to get the selected value of a dropdown list…but not when there are multiple drop down lists.
Can you give me some ideas on how I could resolve this?

Answer 1

It sounds like you’re trying to write

$(this).closest('tr').find('select.SomeClass').val()

This code will get the <tr> containing this, then find a select in the row.
