Question

I have a drop downlist as follows:

<select id="example" name="example" runat="server">

which gets populated in the code behind like this:

example.DataSource = new CampControl().GetCountries();
example.DataTextField = "CountryDesc";
example.DataValueField = "ID";
example.DataBind();
example.Attributes.Add("multiple", "multiple");

and on the click of the items in the list I have a jQuery function:

$inputs = this.inputs,
$checked = $inputs.filter(':checked'),
$checked.each(function (index) {
                alert($(this).text());
            });

But $(this).text() is always coming back as an empty string,

Am I doing anything wrong? Please help

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I got the value using this:

$inputs = this.inputs,
            $checked = $inputs.filter(':checked'),
$checked.each(function () {
               alert(($(this)[$(this).index()].title));
