Question

I have a select box with some dates. I want to get the value of said dates when the input changes. I keep getting undefined for my value.

$('#date_pick').change(function(){
            var values = $('#date_pick:selected').val();
            alert(values);
});

Fiddle

Answer 1

You need to put a space between the #date_pick and :selected.

var values = $('#date_pick :selected').val();
