Question

I have a form and I am trying to submit data into database using Jquery-AJAX. I am using Codeigniter and I have a drop down select in my form.

Here’s my dropdown

<?php echo form_dropdown('teacher', $dropdown_teacher,'', 'class="medium required"' ); ?> 

Since the above drop down doesn’t have any id, I cannot fetch the selected value using jquery. I have tried using 'id="teacher"' after 'class="medium required"' but it doesn’t work. I have also tried to remove the NULL but still no result.

To get the value I tried this-

var teacher= $("#teacher").val(); 

Would you please kindly help me find out how to get the selected value from codeigniter’s default dropdown jquery?

Thanks in Advance 🙂

try like this :

<?php echo form_dropdown('teacher', $dropdown_teacher,'', 'class="medium required" id="teacher"' ); ?>

i think your var teacher= $("#teacher").val(); will be working
