Question

I have a page with lots of forms on it and every form has a dropdown and two buttons – ok and decline. I have an onclick that will trigger a function:

<input type="button" value="decline" 
       class="submit_button_wow" 
       onclick="submit_decision({{ x.id }},false,this)">

how do I figure the selected dropdown value from this form inside submit_decision?

{{x.id}}

is the id of decision that I fill out via template engine.

Answer 1

Refrence the form from the button’s form property. Then get the drop down list by its name.

function submit_decision(decision, myBool, button) {
    var dropdown = button.form.myDropdown;
    var selectedValue = $(dropdown).val();
}
